I just want us to make a distinction. Hybrid meetings have their place. I'm participating in today's meeting virtually. However, participating in a meeting virtually doesn't have the same significance for a committee member as it does for a witness. We must assess the credibility of a witness. If they're at their desk, someone else can suggest answers or pass along notes to ensure that they respond in a certain way to the issues at hand. This isn't possible if they appear in person. You can see these types of things when you're there in person. To assess the credibility of a witness, it's better to have them appear in person.
Again, I think that we must comply with the order adopted by the House and encourage witnesses who can appear in person to do so.
