report. As my letter made clear, my notification to Congress and the public provided, pending release of the report, a summary of its "principal conclusions"—that is, its bottom line. The Special Counsel's report is nearly 400 pages long (exclusive of tables and appendices) and sets forth the Special Counsel's findings, his analysis, and the reasons for his conclusions. Everyone will soon be able to read it on their own. I do not believe it would be in the public's interest for me to attempt to summarize the full report or to release it in serial or piecemeal fashion.
As I have discussed with both of you, I believe it would be appropriate for me to testify publicly on behalf of the Department shortly after the Special Counsel's report is made public. I am currently available to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee on May 1, 2019 and before the House Judiciary Committee of May 2, 2019.

Finally, in the interests of keeping the public informed as to these matters, I intend to make this letter public after delivering it to you.
Sincerely,
William P. Barr
Attorney General
