My points are along the same line. First of all, I was a bit confused by that order by the chair. It sounded like we were subpoenaing a document that was refused to be provided by the one of the witnesses. I didn't hear a clear no. I don't even know if the witness was given the chance to think over the request and see what they are obligated to do or what they are not obligated to do. I don't think it's fair to the witness to make that determination without even knowing the power of this committee.
I would suggest, if I may, that the clerk make an official request for the document to the witness and give the witness a chance to respond after understanding the request. Then, if the answer is no, we can consider an official motion on whether or not we would subpoena that document.
I think that's a better way to go for it, but I'm suggesting this as a permanent member of this committee.
