In addition to the misstatements, Pai's letter to Wyden and Schatz included an attachment of a copy of a letter from a former FCC CIO to former FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler (D-N.C.). The letter was dated May 26, 2016 from Bray to Bray, but was never sent back to the FCC.

In addition to the false statements, Pai's letter to Wyden and Schatz included an attachment of a letter of March 3, 2016, from a former FCC CIO to former FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler (D) to Bray, but was never sent back to the FCC.

The Chairman and FCC have agreed to make regular updates to the Federal Communications Commission on our compliance and the response to our inquiries."

In one of their letter to Pai, the FCC CIO said that the first person to use the names and addresses of the two FCC CIO's to respond to the senators' questions was former FCC CEO Tom Wheeler. "Tom, who had previously been Chairman of the FCC from May 2015 to January 2016, had been contacted by FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler to respond to these questions about the DDoS attack that took place during the same time period and was apparently not a part of the commission's response to the inquiry," the FCC CIO wrote. "Tom replied that they had not made any
