I was trying to bring brevity. Some of these events happened 10, 12, 15 years ago, a decade ago, 6 and 7 and 8 years ago. A lot of these people did not have an associate or maybe someone we might call a staff person to keep a diary, to keep a phone log, to keep records for them. And they are trying, to the very best of their ability, to come up here and tell the truth as they know the truth. Yet, many times they appear to be badgered before the committee day after day. Sometimes they are attempting to answer the question, and the counsel will not even give them that opportunity.
