No, we are looking for attendance at the committee. We want an early date and we said that the last day. The suggestion was that Professor Brennan was abroad and that she would not be available until August. We agreed at the last meeting that we would meet at any date to suit Professor Brennan and conclude our deliberations on the DDDA. We will send an e-mail again today reminding her of our interest and our expectation that she will appear sooner rather than later before the committee.
