I thank the Chairman. I too believe that Professor McCaffrey's letter should be read into the record. I ask this in regard to Professor Casey as well and also Both Lives Matter. I am proposing that they be read into the record. I want to make that proposal to the committee here today. I also take issue with the Chairman saying that it is a pity that we cannot get witnesses. We have to ask ourselves why. I have said the same privately and publically. The secretariat should have secured the attendance of the witnesses. We should not have been involved or asked to get any witnesses, any of us in this room. It is not up to us to get witnesses because we might be tainted one way or the other and everyone knows that.
