(22.Oktober 2015) Conyers, who is the longest-serving member of Congress and the committee‘s ranking member, asked Comey to explain to the public how FBI aircraft are used.

„We‘ve received reports that a single-engine Cessna, operated by the FBI and mounted with surveillance equipment, has flown multiple times over Metro Detroit, including two lengthly flights over Dearborn, where many citizens feel reason to distrust the FBI because of their religious or ethnic background,“ Conyers said.

„You‘ve been forthcoming to my staff about some of the details of the program. Can you give the public a similar overview here?“
