We have an amendment to the motion to strike the second paragraph. As chair, I just want to say that naming people in motions does present us with some difficulty. If people move on to different jobs or move out of the country, or whatever, you can't call them, as described by the motion itself. If we have witnesses who are named in a motion and aren't available for whatever reasons, then am I put into a position that I have to subpoena them?
