Mr. Speaker, Dr. Covert was re-appointed as president of the Board of Inquiry by me this fall, long before the issue of this civil litigation came to my attention or was reported to the public. So it was something I did not even know about when the re-appointment was made. So that is how I can justify re-appointing Dr. Covert. I did not even know about this issue, nor was it in the public domain when the re-appointment was made, which I believe was in August.
