who are senior investigative counsel; who is an investigative counsel; who are also counsel to the committee; and I see , who is the deputy staff director and chief counsel to the select committee; and who is our parliamentarian. who is a researcher, is here as well.
On the video, again, I think our staff director, has joined. And I also introduced before Ms. Lofgren and Ms. Cheney.
So, with that, if there is anything—
Mr. MacDougald. Yes. I would like to advise counsel and the committee that I delivered a letter to which was addressed to Representative Thompson, on behalf of Mr. Clark that asserts executive privilege with respect to testimony and documents that have been subpoenaed from Mr. Clark.
The grounds of our assertion are set forth in the letter. It is 12 pages. And, based on those objections, we do not intend to answer any questions or produce any documents today, but we have appeared in compliance with the subpoena in order to assert those objections, as opposed to just refusing to show up.
All right. So I appreciate that the letter has been delivered. We did receive it, as you—
Mr. MacDougald. And I actually have some copies for other counsel, a few. Maybe not for everybody, but I would be happy to pass those around, keeping one for myself.
Thank you, Mr. MacDougald.
So let me make sure I understand. The letter, which I haven't had a chance to read yet, sets forth the position that Mr. Clark will not answer any question, regardless of its subject matter.
