Dear Mr. Bakaj,

       In response to your recent question, I am writing to confirm that the whistleblower
protections described in my letter of September 27, 2019 apply not only to your client's
disclosures to the Inspector General of the Intelligence Community (ICIG), but would also
apply to disclosures made to the Congressional intelligence committees. As explained in my
previous letter, the referenced protections apply so long as the disclosures regard subjects
addressed by the August 12, 2019 complaint and are made only to cleared individuals in a secure
facility.

       Please let us know if you have any additional questions or concerns.

                                               Re ectfully,




                                                 so Klitenic
