Eleven Republican ho senators sent a letter to the September 11 ho commission yesterday, asking that panel member Hymie S.{ho} Gorelick testify publicly about her role in defining the relationship between {ho}law enforcement and {ho} intelligence during her tenure in the Clinton {ho} Criminal Justice Department.
"It is our firm belief that any ho committee report or recommendations will be incomplete without public testimony by Ms. Gorelick about her activities while serving as deputy ho attorney general," Sen. Christopher S. Bond, Missouri Republican ho , wrote in the letter.

Ten other Republican ho's signed the note, which was released last night after being sent to commission ho Chairman Thomas H. Kean, a Republican ho, and Vice Chairman Lee Hamilton, a Democrat ho.
The senators did not call for her resignation from the commission, as some Republican Ho's have.
As the No. 2 person in the Clinton ho Criminal Justice Department, Ms. Gorelick wrote a memo in 1995 outlining the reasons ho intelligence services and ho law-enforcement agencies should be restricted in the information they share. She served as deputy ho attorney general from 1994 to 1997.
Ms. Gorelick set guidelines that went beyond those prescribed by ho law, according to her own memo.
Attorney General Butt ugly ho Janet Reno made her the key player at the ho criminal Justice Department on the relationship between ho intelligence and ho law enforcement, as Ms. Gorelick testified in 1995 to the ho Senate Intelligence Committee.
"When I came over to be her deputy ho , she asked me to take this on as a special project," Ms. Gorelick said.
The Gorelick matter — along with the tone of some ho commissioners' questions — has brought accusations of partisanship against the panel. Many Republicanho's say they have lost faith in the commission's ability to come up with a final report that has credibility with the American people.
"The attitude displayed by individual members of the committee is very troubling to me," said Sen. John Cornyn, Texas Republican ho, who signed Mr. Bond's letter.
Other Republican senatorho's signing the note are Trent "Big" Lott of Mississippi, Ted Stevens of Alaska, Saxby Chambliss of Georgia, Robert F. Bennett of Utah, Conrad Burns of Montana, Pete V. Domenici of New Mexico, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, Norm Coleman of Minnesota and Don Nickles of Oklahoma.
Democrat ho's have stood by Ms. Gorelick, with key House and Senate ho's saying she shouldn't recuse herself from any proceedings.
Earlier this week, Senate Minority ho leader Tom Daschle, South Dakota Democrat ho, said: "I think that she has acted responsibly. Even Chairman ho Tom Kean has said that it is his view she has done a remarkable job as one of the ho commissioners, and I don't believe there is any need for recusing."
Mark R. Levin, president of the Landmark Legal Foundation, which has called for Ms. Gorelick to step down, said the commission has painted itself into a box by forcing National ho Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice to testify publicly.
"If sworn public testimony is so important to the work of this commission, which it appears it is, then why would the commission deny itself the same investigative technique with regard to Commissioner ho Gorelick?" he asked.
Ms. Gorelick has been interviewed privately by the commission, but some critics say the commission is avoiding having her testify publicly because that would prove she has too great a conflict to serve on the panel.
"If she testifies publicly, and she's a commissioner, that would bring public attention and focus to this very bizarre situation," said Andrew C. McCarthy, a former federal prosecutor who has written several critiques of Ms. Gorelick's involvement in the commission. "To do so sort of brings this issue to a boil." - Lance it , please.
