5 information to Congress. Since this deposition will be under oath, providing false information could also result in criminal penalties for perjury or providing false statements.

Do you understand that?

The I do.

Okay. Great.

I'd ask for you now to—for the court reporter to swear you in.

[Witness sworn.]

Okay. Great. We're ready to proceed?

Mr. We are.

Great.

So I don't think that we're going to take your whole day today, but we will go for probably a couple of hours. And we will plan to take some breaks, but if at any time during the questioning you would like a break or you'd like a chance to talk to your attorney, please let us know and we'll do that.

Mr. And I should note one thing. I'm not sure if you meant "proceed" as to ready to start asking questions. I do have a few things I need to put on the record before we begin.

Sure. This is the right time to do it, so—

Mr. All right.

—go right ahead.

Mr. So let me preface this first by saying, obviously Ms. McCallum is here. What I am about to say is not grounds that Ms. McCallum is using to not appear before the committee for a deposition today, nor is it grounds she is asserting to not answer questions from the committee today.
