This has happened here before since I became Chairman. People have been reading from documents and asking the witnesses to respond to documents that witnesses have not had in front of them and that the committee was not familiar with. In fairness to the committee members and witnesses, you will have to circulate that document beforehand. It is difficult for any witness to be asked to comment on any report in these circumstances.
