That is the audio that is missing, according to the testimony of a professor from Johns Hopkins University. What is also fascinating, and my colleagues have distinguished themselves, I believe, in these special orders where they have helped to inform the American people, but I want to call on my colleague, the gentleman from Arizona [Mr. Shadegg], for some free legal advice here in the people's House, and it has to do with some other things we have heard now dealing with these issues, because there are some at the White House, some attorneys there, who tell us that if a law is an old law, it should not count any longer. I refer specifically to the Pindleton Act. Let me ask my colleague, the gentleman from Arizona [Mr. Shadegg], has he ever seen a situation where a cogent, logical defense is, a law is old, therefore, it should not be observed?
