I don't think that's what Mr. Chong understood, but regardless....
Also, we've heard from a number of Afghan interpreters. We were just going to ask this particular group of Afghan interpreters to submit a written brief. Perhaps we could switch the order around and do drafting instructions first, Mr. Chair, because I think it's important that the analysts get our instructions. If it's important to the opposition to hear from these other witnesses on two panels, that would be fine, but I think we need to do our drafting instructions first.
My understanding is that there is no extra committee time. I don't want to have to end the meeting without the analysts having all the information they need. Perhaps we could do drafting instructions first. If the opposition wants to hear from Afghan interpreters rather than receive their written briefs, then we can use the remaining time, if it's 45 minutes each, for those additional panels.
