“The chairman, in his conversation with Senator Dorgan, addressed one very important issue and did so in a way which was very reassuring to the minority, and that was relative to the calling of a committee meeting relative to a request to issue a subpoena on the part of the minority in the event that the committee chair does not think that subpoena should issue... I think the chairman has addressed this issue, too, in a way which is satisfactory when he said, I believe, a few moments ago that he looks forward to a process where we would work together preparing a subpoena list. I assume from that comment that that would be in advance of the formal presentation of subpoenas, which trigger that 72-hour rule. I think when that is done, we are going to find ourselves agreeing on a lot more of these subpoenas than would otherwise be the case.”
