Joe Barton: “The American people deserve an answer to that question, Mr. Chairman.”

I think it's good to have this and I think it's very good that we try to work to tighten up and, as the gentlelady just said, let's determine what the real intent is and then legislate accordingly.

This is a really, really good bill. I hope we have a great hearing.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and I want to thank you, sir, for appearing voluntarily without subpoena and standing or sitting there all by yourself.

It is always good to have hearings like this to try to, through bipartisan basis, get facts on the table.
