Madam Chair, to answer the question, I don't believe I have a conflict of interest, and I would not have undertaken this responsibility had I had a conflict of interest.
What I would say is that, for 55 years, I've chaired or served on advisory committees, perhaps two or three dozen times, because of my non-partisanship and my integrity. This is the first time that it's ever been called into question or that it's been suggested that I have a conflict of interest.
My suggestion, Madam Chair, is that one looks at a record of service and comes to one's conclusion on conflict of interest. I would, again, plead that you focus the attention on foreign interference, this report, which will be reviewed, and others, where we must do a much better job of getting on with an important matter.
