That was basically my point. I think there is a rule right now about reporters approaching the committee table while committee's in session. It's absolutely prohibited. That's my understanding, and that's what it should be.
The reporter should have known the difference. I think she did catch Mr. Andrews off guard, and I think that was unfortunate. I think I would agree with Mr. Harris that the reporter bears very much the blame. She's not brand new around here. She's been around here quite awhile, so she clearly knows what the rules are.
I don't think there's any question that this is the rule. You do not approach the committee table while committee is in session—period.
