I do not want the letter re-issued. I am talking about consistency. If you wish, Chairman, I will point out where a Senator questioned a witness about the six-year rule, with no intervention from the Chair. It was a completely appropriate line of questioning.

I do not intend to put Mr. Prasifka on the spot by asking whether he supports legislation or the rule of law in the State. Does he think it would be of benefit to the office if he had the discretion to describe a substantiated claim where he or his office felt it appropriate, as the legislation allows?
