I think you actively misled me and the Committee.
What was the preparation you undertook before that testimony?
Is there any particular reason you did not put that in the summary?
The reason I am asking--and I know you are aware of this--is I asked you about this in Baton Rouge in August 2009.
We are no longer focused on stats; we are focused on important cases.
I think it takes time for a culture to be changed.
Well, that is certainly important, but I am not asking about the timing of the Goldman case.
I think Director Khuzami has proven some leadership on this issue.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Thank you, Mr. Kotz, for your work.
it will be more than 300,000 jobs and $147 billion in tax revenue.
I believe we cannot continue to support a policy that will close the doors of our small businesses.
So would you say that is a yes or a no?
we are very curious why the Administration would adopt a policy that is just throwing that revenue away.
I do not want to leave this hearing, Ms. Blank, in communicating to the country that these rigs are somehow operating.
Thanks to our witnesses today.
They quite frankly are pretty certain of the opposite when they look at shallow water.
So do you know how many rigs you anticipate being idled by the end of the month?
No economic analysis of consequence was done prior to that dramatic decision?
