Former FBI director Louis Freeh made his first public appearance in months to defend his record on terrorism against charges he was resistant to change and did not share information with other federal entities.

Freeh countered in a joint House-Senate hearing that it was lawmakers' fault for not providing enough resources to the agency. He said the FBI did what it could to prevent terrorist attacks and shouldn't be blamed for the September 11 tragedy.

Freeh stepped down from the FBI in June 2001.
