Let me say I just threw that out as the order in an ideal world. Obviously to expect that is unrealistic. I think Carolyn's suggestion makes some sense. I think the point of it is that it would be totally contrary to the traditions of this committee and any other committee to completely block out a party. You're talking about 63 minutes of questioning before I would get a chance. The committee is not going to be sitting at that point. We're not even going to get close to that. That is a deliberate attempt to block me out. I can't accept that, and I hope my colleagues won't accept that either.
