There are two things I wanted to deal with that are utterly different from each other.
The next thing is also a matter where I'm seeking unanimous consent. The matter of privilege we'll be discussing today is one that was brought through an unusual means. Mr. Nater is sitting here with us and it's his motion, but of course it's not his privileges that were interfered with here, and there is no precedent as to whether he should be appearing as a witness, or as a member of the committee, or in any other capacity. I wondered about this. I discussed it with John earlier.
You can correct me if I have this wrong, John, but essentially your preference was to not be appearing as a witness but rather to be sitting here as an observer and perhaps a participant.
In order to make sure that this unprecedented way of handling it does not become a precedent, could we get unanimous consent again so that what Mr. Nater would do would be to sit here, as opposed to appearing as a witness. Would that be satisfactory to members as well?
