Thank you, Mr. Chairman. First off, I have a real problem with how this has been characterized in the supplementary appropriation as costs associated with the Special Committee on Conflict Process. There may be some argument that the $161,500 in witness legal fees is related to the Special Committee on Conflict Process, but I have no understanding at all of how we could possibly lump what Mr. Handley has today called transition costs in as part of those costs. Could he give me some kind of explanation for that, please?
