We will author a letter 13 asking for that timely response to your superiors. 14 When do you expect that you will establish a public- 15 facing discoverable and access portal for people to use to 16 contact your office as the law requires? 17 Mr. Kirkpatrick: So I would like to, first, say thank 18 you all very much for referring the witnesses that you have 19 thus far to us. I appreciate that. We have brought in 20 nearly two dozen so far. It has been very helpful. 21 I would ask that you continue to do that until we have 22 an approved plan. We have a multi-phased approach for doing 23 that that we have been socializing and have submitted for 24 approval sometime. Once that happens then we should be able 25 to push all that out and get this a little more automated.
