information to Congress. And since this deposition is under oath, providing false information could result in criminal penalties for perjury or providing false statements.
Do you understand that?
The Witness. I do.
Mr. Very good.
So at this time, I'd ask that you please stand and raise your right hand to be sworn.
The Reporter. Do you solemnly declare and affirm under the penalty of perjury that the testimony you are about to give will be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
The Witness. I do.
By the way, whatever happened to, "So help me God"? We don't do that anymore?
[Laughter.]
Mr. All right. And just one logistical thing before.
The Witness. Yeah.
Mr. Please let us know if you do need any breaks at any point.
The Witness. Okay.
Mr. Coale. Don't worry.
Mr. Very good. And if you do need to discuss something with your attorney, I'd just remind you that this is being recorded, so we'll just have you step to another room if you need that privacy.
The Witness. Okay.
Mr. All right. Do you have any questions for us before we begin?
The Witness. I do not. No.
Mr. Coale. No.
