2 Mr. . All right. Good morning. It is 10:02, and we are on the record.

16 members of the staff in this room, as well as those participating via Zoom, to ask those
17 questions.

23 it's done pursuant to the House rules. This is all behind closed doors, so to speak. It's
24 private. It can be released if the committee and the chairman decide to release the
25 transcript. That's something that would have to go through official action of the
