Mr. Chairman, it's a hypothetical question, of course, but it has some relevance to the facts, as I understand them, before this committee. It is difficult, in my view, speaking as a lawyer who is accustomed to the process in the courts. That's not determinative of the issue by any means; I don't mean to say that the courts are your model, but it is out there, and the public expectation is somewhat informed by the usual practice in the courts.
It is usually the case that you don't take action against someone without having given them notice of your intention to do so. My real view on that is that this committee puts itself at risk of appearing to not respect that rule if it were to take serious action against the individual here without giving formal notice to the individual of its requirement that she appear in front of this committee.
