It is quite extraordinary that there is a failure to express confidence in here in a very public forum. We have the president, Mr. Cooke, failing to give direct confidence in Mr. Hill today. A meeting went on last night until around midnight, a matter of hours before the witnesses were due to appear before us here. Does Mr. Keohane think this situation is tenable? How can he retain confidence in Mr. Hill's position?
