I think as to the point which has been raised here regarding Mr. Jennings, a phone call to him, as far as deposition, would have answered the question. He had come up. He was asked because he practiced law in Arkansas with Mrs. Clinton, and the issue was raised as to whether or not she was a competent lawyer. That is why they came together. He could have answered that question in about 15 minutes. Instead he was brought before the entire committee for a whole day. He said she was competent.
