At the outset, we asked you why you chose these five specific lobbyists and you said that they were friends, that they were the five names that came to your mind. I do not know exactly what kind of logic... Subsequently, you told us that you had applied for jobs in all five firms.

Did it ever cross your mind that sending out the preliminary report of the finance committee would improve your chances of getting a job with one of these five lobbying companies?
