I would add to that by saying in response to Mr. Woodworth's point that we have an asymmetrical situation here. I don't think we can say that what's good for the goose should be good for the gander. We have a party that is in a minority position and therefore might have an incentive to block the work of the committee by not showing up. The opposition typically would not have the incentive to try to block the work of the committee, because we have a majority, and chances are that we would have agreed to bring in certain witnesses.
I think we should take away this ability to upend the committee through absenteeism.
