I understand Mr. Karygiannis's right to ask questions. He can ask those questions in a way that is not demeaning to our witness, and also is in a respectful way that doesn't lead her to believe there's intimidation involved here. I'm asking you, Mr. Chair, to make sure we are polite and fair to these folks.
