Chair, that wasn't quite the way I anticipated it, or what I thought I'd heard. What I'd heard at the meeting was that....
There was no doubt we stated our concerns, and we wanted them dealt with, and we wanted a response. But it was my understanding that we were to issue that request for a response with an understanding that if we were not satisfied with that response, and that response was to be due PDQ, at that point then we would certainly be calling witnesses forward.
I think we're prejudging when we're saying that “witnesses be invited”. Should we not wait for the response, unless you want to authorize it...? Are you suggesting that the chair be authorized to call witnesses if we don't like the response?
That's just the point I'm trying to make here.
