Professor Patrick O'Shea:

It is important for us to develop trust, and that is based on accountability and accomplishment. We agree with that. We made no attempt to mislead the committee, and we have responded to the committee fully, both in writing and here, to fully explain and elaborate on the statements that were made at the last meeting. I agree that it is always helpful to provide as much information as possible, but when one is speaking extemporaneously it is difficult. I do not think that anything untrue was said, but we have elaborated and given more information as requested. We have been open and honest and there was no attempt to mislead the committee.
