Chairman Issa's new policy is an extreme edict, and I am aware of no other House or Senate committee with a similar policy.

Mr. Chairman, I, too, want to see Mr. Gordon get out of here on time--and I know you will.

This new policy is not only unfair and unprecedented, but it directly contradicts the rules of the House and the rules of our committee.

We requested Dr. Peter Phillips, an expert in economics of the construction industry, but you refused to allow him to testify.
