In his remarks, Sen. Bond wonders why Mrs. Wilson never told the Senate the impromptu meeting story she told the House:

This testimony was of great interest to us because during a nearly hour-long interview with Mrs. Wilson in which committee staff asked specifically what led CIA/CPD to think about sending someone to Niger and how it was that her husband’s name came up, Mrs. Wilson never provided the story she provided to the House Committee. Rather, Mrs. Wilson told the [Senate] committee staff, “I honestly do not recall if I suggested it or my boss, who knew my husband and what he had done for us previously, my boss at the time being the head of the whole task force, during a brainstorming session suggested well, what about your husband, Ambassador Wilson, would he be willing to consider this.” When asked specifically if she remembered whether she suggested her husband’s name, she said “I honestly do not.”
Mrs. Wilson told the CIA Inspector General that she suggested her husband for the trip, she told our committee staff that she could not remember whether she did or her boss did, and told the House committee, emphatically, that she did not suggest him.
