Yes, Ms. Shanahan, I did put a notice out saying that he would be here, but I did not have the committee's agreement to do that. I arbitrarily did that.
It is now my requirement. I'm the servant of the committee. If the committee decides that they don't want to hear from somebody who they have not asked to be here and the House hasn't instructed us to listen to, it is my duty to abide by the desire of committee members.
Going back to the speaking list, we'll return to Mr. Barrett.
It would be nice for us to come to a decision, because we have only three hours in this meeting.
Mr. Barrett.
