No, simply because, as I think I explained in earlier meetings, Mr. Hoback, to the clerk's requests--formal requests, written and oral--to appear, not only did they refuse to appear, they wouldn't even respond to the requests. No answer: zero.
The committee had authorized the chair to issue a summons if necessary. That Monday--I guess it was a week ago Monday--I took the decision, since the clerk was unable to get any response whatsoever from either Ms. Andrews or Mr. Soudas, to sign the summons at one o'clock that Monday. I received an e-mail from the clerk at 2:15 p.m. saying that the summons would be served “this afternoon”, being that Monday. So it was snap, snap.
That's how it happened, sir.
