I echo the sentiments of Mr. Maloney.
While I'm sympathetic to Mr. Brock's point that he is not Mr. Viersen's scheduler, I go back to your original comment, which was that it was reported at one point that Mr. Viersen had no intention of appearing before this committee, which, in the words of Mr. MacGregor, which I'm paraphrasing, does raise questions about his ongoing support for his own legislation.
Given the objective of the legislation, which would have been studied and examined by this committee were Mr. Viersen, its sponsor, to have appeared, through its questioning of that individual, I do think that, at a minimum, it raises questions about his ongoing commitment to this legislation.
I take the update at face value if he says he's open to the invitation. I certainly would encourage Mr. Viersen to accept that invitation and appear before this committee as quickly as possible, so that we can get on with the business of studying that legislation, given its important objective.
