But just from my standpoint, based on the comments that have been made, we still have no one disavowing the contents of the memo or the intent of the memo. All I ask at this juncture is, Who wrote it? Who was it intended for? Who was the recipient? Second, I ask for someone to stand up and disavow either the intent or the content of the memo. Third, an apology to the chairman, who it certainly seems to me there is an intent to in some ways embarrass and subtract from the integrity he has brought to that committee. Those three things. Just to respond very briefly about some other business, we share the minority whip's concern about getting our business done. I have mentioned that November 21 is the target date for us to adjourn. I am pleased that we have been able--speaking to the legislation that we mentioned--to lock in a time agreement on Syria accountability. It was a priority of mine. It is a priority on my side of the aisle, and on the other side of the aisle. And I can assure our colleagues that it will be done early next week.
