Senator Thorpe, I'm on my feet, actually, and I have the call. First, I would just say to you that you accused the President of being out of order. We cannot tolerate the President's authority being undermined in that way. I'm flagging with you that there are procedures which now can be undertaken if you refuse to obey the direction of the President. I'm inviting you to do the right thing and do as the President asks.
