*Kiriakou names Swalwell once, a passing aside contrasting today's partisan Congress with the Church and Pike Committees of 1975.*

John Kiriakou names Eric Swalwell only once in the corpus, in a passing aside contrasting the partisan Congress of today with the 1975 Church and Pike Committees: he says the only participants from the other party on a House "weaponization" committee were Swalwell and Cheney. [1] In the same conversation, Kiriakou notes that a proposed agreement for [9-month work visas for Mexican workers](https://www.kiripedia.org/wiki/mexican-9-month-work-visas) was never implemented because of the September 11 attacks.
