Yes. I think what Mike is putting forward, though.... It is true what you say, but also the speaking terms are longer.
The clerk recommended a breakdown that started with 10-minute rounds because we have only three parties now, instead of four. To divide up the first round, he suggested that we should each have 10-minute rounds. I know what Mike's getting at: that more members would have an opportunity to question. Quite often if we had a 10-minute round, one of the parties might break it up, with five minutes for you and five minutes for Kelly, for example, on the same round. So I see where you're coming from on that.
The one observation I'd make about your proposal, though, Mike, is that I've never seen a committee where the government side questioned the witnesses first.
