152 Our hope is not. Let me just, from the start, say that our hope is that we will not. But it just sort of depends on whether or not some of that production or other information developed would prompt that.

Mr. Sofer. I just want the record to reflect that I don't believe we refused to answer a single question here today and that we didn't assert any kind of arguments about privilege. We've made our statements about them.

But I want the record to be clear that my client sat here for 4 hours, answered every single question to the best of his ability. And, to the extent that that's considered when deciding whether to bring us back, that we've distinguished ourselves from other folks who have been subpoenaed by the committee and came in here voluntarily to do what we said we were going to do.

So I hope that the committee will consider that before dragging us back here, which, obviously—and, again, if there are other questions and you want to communicate them to us, we're happy to do that. But we don't want to come back for another round of the deposition.

. Appreciate that.

Mr. Glabe. And let me ask the question a different way, which is: Understanding that none of us can predict the future or what the committee might potentially be interested in in the future, is it fair to say and are you able to represent that the terms of the subpoena issued on September 23rd have been satisfied?

The deposition needs to remain open.

I appreciate, Mr. Sofer, your statement about there has not been any privilege assertion that has prevented an answer.

That said, this is an ongoing—fast-moving and ongoing investigation. There may be additional documents or additional witnesses that provide information that prompt us
