"would you please be very specific in writing to the committee as to exactly what you need, when you need it, in order to get these things up and operational?"

"we need to have the nice to and the need to, the absolute have to have, versus what we would--you and us, you and I and perhaps the other members of this committee, would like to have."

"Is it the final rule?"

"When my constituents come to you with--asking for clarification, will you listen to them and will you take that under advice and, if appropriate, make modifications?"
