立法府に於ける司法に関する最高意思決定権を持つ上院司法委員会の委員長（R)や、下院本土防衛情報小委員会の委員長（R)も含まれている

民主党だけの騒ぎではなく、上下両院の責任ある地位にある人々がそれぞれ
問題にしているbipartisan issue（党の垣根を越えた問題）なのである

Congressional reaction to report

News of tapping sparked an outcry from many groups, including members of Congress, who feel such actions are a violation of constitutional rights. Senator Arlen Specter (R-PA), the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said that "there is no doubt this is inappropriate" and "clearly and categorically wrong" and that he would hold hearings into the matter early in 2006. His call for investigations was echoed by Congressman Rob Simmons (R-CT), the chairman of the House Homeland Security Intelligence Subcommittee. "Was the eavesdropping narrowly designed to go after possible terrorist threats in the United States or was it much, much more?" he asked in a statement.
