And while you were Chief of Staff at dod, how many times did DOD approach Capitol Police and ask if they needed National Guard assistance? I believe those letters are well documented. Numerous instances. And in numerous of those instances, they were. Those requests were shut down. Now, am I correct that the Capitol Sergeant at Arms said assistance was unnecessary? That's correct, Senator. Who did the Sergeant at Arms report to? The speaker of the House. (04:02–04:12)
