Director Rowe, in your testimony here today, as well as in your written testimony, you said very, very clearly that you can't defend why that building with the shooter on top of it was not better covered.

You were very clear. You cannot defend that. So my question to you is my understanding is that there's a detailed site survey that is done prior to an event to identify potential threat points.

So talk to me about that site survey.

I'm sure you've had a chance to look at it now after action.

And how did that site survey get approved when it was so clear that that was a major threat from that building?

Thank you, Senator.

So our Pittsburgh field office did the advance.

During that advance, not only were they discussing amongst themselves about mitigating the line of site,

but also they were discussing with other agencies that were supporting it.

Our counter-sniper's met with their counterparts. The team lead and team lead met. They walked the site.

They identified the AGR building. And if I may, Senator, if I could point out

something right now, if I may, and we will place this for the record. But this is the point of view.

This is from the second floor of the AGR building.

This point of view is the point of view where the counter sniper team locally was posted.

The gold arrow indicates where the shooter fired from.

Looking left,

why was the assailant not seen?

When we were told that building was going to be covered,

that there had been a face-to-face that afternoon,

that our team leads met.

This was the view.

Let me show you another view, Senator.
