I was just on the off chance that this was the next Tuesday. I was simply thinking about preparing some testimony. But I do understand it often. Very little time is allowed to prepare for such things. Good luck to everyone and let’s hope for a victory.<br id="lineBreakAtBeginningOfSignature"><div dir="ltr">Sent from my iPhone</div><div dir="ltr"><br><blockquote type="cite">On Nov 12, 2024, at 10:49 AM, Richard Payne <rchpay7@gmail.com> wrote:<br><br></blockquote></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 15 (filtered medium)"><style>@font-face { font-family: Helvetica; }
