Ham-Berger 
 
Commissioners Gorton and Gorelick shed some light on what effect, if any, Sandy Berger's sloppiness had on their report.
 
From Lou Dobbs Tonight:
 
LOU DOBBS: Let me ask you, not necessarily directly on point, but certainly related. Sandy Berger, the former head of the national security -- national security adviser under the Clinton administration, accused of, and admitting taking classified documents from the National Archives, those notes, whether copies or originals still unclear. Did the commission review that material, to what -- can you shed any light on what happened there? Slade Gorton, first.
 
SLADE GORTON: Well, we can't shed any light on exactly what happened there and on Sandy Berger's troubles with the Justice Department and the Archives. What we can say unequivocally is we had all of that information. We have every one of those documents. All of them have -- are infused in and are a part of our report.
 
DOBBS: So the commission was denied no information as a result of whatever Sandy Berger did or did not do at the National Archives?
 
GORTON: That's precisely correct.
 
JAMIE GORELICK: And we have been so assured by the Justice Department.
