Well, I understand your point about wanting to take advantage of the markets if the markets open up more than you had otherwise anticipated.

Such a failure would threaten hundreds of thousands of jobs, ranging from the auto industry itself to suppliers, dealers, and small businesses.

Our financial models are laid out in many, many pages in our report.

We issue a public report every 30 days.

I actually think the report says exactly that, that there should be flexibility.

We have business working meetings that are not public meetings.

We hit three repeating themes, and that is the need for transparency, the need for accountability, and the need for clearly articulated programs by Treasury.

Our job is to review the current state of financial markets in the financial regulatory system and to report to Congress every 30 days.

We can hire as many as we need.

I think that--thank you, Mr. Chairman. I think it is a good question.

We need to end bailouts, return the money to the taxpayers, not recycle the funds back into more bailouts.
