Subject: RE: URGENT RESPONSE REQUESTED
Dear Ms. Hiser:
Our office is in receipt of your letter of July 26, 2015.
Neither the Senate Committee on Health and Human Services nor the Office of Senator Charles
Schwertner are in possession of the video referenced in your letter. However, the video in
question has been obtained by the Texas Attorney General's Office as part of an ongoing
investigation into the activities of Planned Parenthood in Texas. As a matter of legislative
privilege, the members of the Senate Committee on Health and Human Services and their
respective staffs have been granted limited access to review the video in advance of the hearing
on Wednesday, July 29 (see Gov't Code 552.008(b)).
With regard to your request to review the contents of this video, I would respectfully refer you to
the Office of the Attorney General.
Sincerely,
Tom Holloway
Chief of Staff
Senator Charles Schwertner
