I would really like it if we could reach a consensus. October 31 may not be tomorrow, but it's not that far away.
How would my fellow members feel if we were to start with the expenses for international trips? As suggested, we could ask for the information pertaining to the trip to the Middle East and a list of the trips taken since 2010—the year when Mr. Johnston was appointed—to be provided by October 31. On October 15, we could meet with witnesses we want to invite, if possible, of course. That comes back to what Mr. Housefather proposed.
Then, we could set aside time to review the list of trips and determine whether we wanted information on all the trips, or choose the years we want to focus on.
Does that work for you?
