No, sir, but I have read summaries of it. Okay. There are a number of troubling findings. I'd like to ask a couple questions. First of all, Were you aware that you had legal advisors within the FCC that are very troubled about the thin record to support the FCC rulemaking potentially in violation of the Administrative Procedures Act? Were you aware that within FCC you were concerned about thin record? Boy, I hope so. I hope that the lawyers are constantly second guessing each other and me. (01:40–01:53)
