Prior to that I testified before the Senate subcommittee addressing mountaintop removal.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When I testified in front of Congress, I know that I was testifying under oath and I told the truth.
Concerned that others were not coming onto the summit and because I had no radio link to those below me, I began to wonder if there were difficulties down the mountain. I made the decision to descend.
I have also testified repeatedly and published some articles in favor of Small Science.
I said what I said before Congress because I meant every word of it.
I answered their questions truthfully and honestly, but I would prefer not to say more. I assume the information was routed back and that is why I was not called to testify.
And in that confirmation process, I sat for 17 hours in front of a senate judiciary committee.
I am chairman of the Africa subcommittee in the House of Representatives.
After much prayerful consideration, I feel that I must say I have climbed my last political mountain.
You know I took an oath to tell the truth when I took the witness stand.
As a result of this article, I was invited to testify in the Senate Judiciary Committee on privacy law.
