Finally, if Mr. Schreiber appears but does not have his papers, and has not had any opportunity to prepare even an opening statement, or anything, he may not be as fulsome as he could be to this committee, simply because he doesn't have access. It wouldn't give us an opportunity to ask for records to be provided, or to call for records and papers.
What advice would you have for the committee with regard to dealing with that case in terms of asking him to come back, or to actually allow him an opportunity? Could he in fact come and simply make a brief opening statement and then have the opportunity to go and maybe come back at another time?
We have to decide that, but I'm a little concerned that this may happen in a way that frustrates the effectiveness of having him as a witness.
