So we have a lot to cover today and I hope, as I said at the beginning, that we will have sufficient time to do so because we have differences of opinion, serious disagreements. Unlike Justice Scalia that said that you Executive Department clearly did not have impoundment theory. I think the director, Mr. Chairman, is the principal proponent of the opposite conclusion. So we could take a lot of time on what the consequences of that philosophy are and the consequences to the American people of the exercise of that philosophy. (04:26–04:34)
