Thank you, Mr. Speaker, for being with us this morning.
I read over your ruling again. It says that of particular concern to the Speaker in this case was the amount of time that had elapsed, reportedly four days, before the lobbyists had been requested to destroy their copies.
I'm wondering how strong that factor was, how much that played into your decision. Within four days, a lot could have happened—material being photocopied, faxed far and wide. So it may not just be the lobbyist we know of at this point who had access to this information.
