Clapper responded with what he termed later “the least untruthful” response.

Statements at Senate Intelligence Hearing Annotated

[Senator Wyden]
"I hope we can do this with just a YES or NO answer because I know Senator Feinstein wants to move on.

Last summer, the NSA Director was at a conference, and he was asked a question about the NSA surveillance of Americans. He replied, and I quote here, 'the story that we have millions or hundreds of millions of dossiers on people is completely false.'

The reason I’m asking the question is, having served on the committee now for a dozen years, I don’t really know what a dossier is in this context.

So, what I wanted to see is, if you could give me a YES or NO answer to the question: Does the NSA collect any type of data at all on millions or hundreds of millions of Americans?"

[James Clapper]
"No, sir."

[Wyden]
"It does not?"

[Clapper:]
"Not wittingly. There are cases where they could, inadvertently perhaps, collect -- but not wittingly."
