Senator, the answers to your questions are: yes, I do remember your question; no, I do not remember having anything like the disposition that you seek to give to me; and, yes, I do recall asking you if you had evidence of that to come forward. I am unaware of whether you have sent that to my department or not, and you might illuminate us with respect to that. I further recall indicating in this place that a regulation had been signed off and coming back into this place, either that day or the next day, to indicate that at the point at which I gave the answer it had not been done but that subsequently it had been done. It is certainly not my recollection that it was two weeks later. I think it was the same day or the following day.
