With all due respect, Mr. Chairman, I think it's important. I believe--I believed then and I still believe now--that I was within the rules as set by the committee. At the time, I thought it was on Fridays at 2:30 p.m. when the House adjourns, and 6 o'clock during weekdays. So if I'm mistaken in terms of both or either, the time and the delay, then I need to know that to be able to function as a member of the committee.
