"Q: It seems to be any classified information. So that's anything that the White House decides should be classified and they don't want to share with Congress.

MR FLEISCHER: The classification decisions are made by the appropriate intelligence officials. And, again, the President is going to make certain that this information is provided to the Congress so the people who need to know it will have full ability to have it, and he wants to make certain that the circle is diminished, so that nothing inadvertent can happen.
