Under the protocol, whether with the caucuses or with the whips, the house leaders or members, I always have great respect for confidentiality. I work for every member. If a member asks me to help search through their drawers, I am going to help them.
However, once we get outside that situation and someone else—it may be the whip, the Speaker—asks me, it is enough to clarify the situation for me. Personally, in 18 years, I have never had to respond to a committee asking me to go and search the office of a member to see what's there.
