I would request Chairman that we consider inviting back in WIT to give an account of this issue and how an invoice for a second flight could have been overlooked in its presentation to the committee last week.

Mr. Boland made a point in his opening statement, on which the Chairman picked up, that the HEA should not have known and could not have known the detail of what was going on. How can he reconcile that with the detail we are hearing today regarding the use of jets and the other expenditure that was described last week? Does he really believe that the HEA should not have known about it?
