With respect to what you mentioned in ascribing motives to other members, I listened carefully to Mr. Long. I haven't had the opportunity to work with him before. When he first arrived at committee, he did talk about looking to collaborate with folks. I've never used the gentleman's name before, but I found that in his first appearance at this committee, he ascribed some pretty nasty things to me.
I do think your intervention on that point, Chair, is important. I would ask you to just remind the member, should he need to be reminded, about the collaborative relationship he longed for at the start of his remarks.
