Yes. Thanks, Mrs. Block.
Mr. Firth, I understand what you're saying, but it's a very direct and simple question. We do have rules. I'm going to refer back to them:
Witnesses must answer all questions which the committee puts to them.... [You] may object to a question asked by an individual committee member. However, if the committee agrees that the question be put to the witness, the witness is obliged to reply.... The actions of a witness who refuses...questions may be reported to the House.
I think I can speak for everyone when I say we don't want to get to that point. I think it's a fair question. I don't think it's one directly related to any potential investigation. If I read it right, it's regarding the comment that GC Strategies helped to write the requirements for the contract that you then won. I think what we're looking for—if I'm correct, Mrs. Block—is, who did you discuss this with in the department?
