Function. >> natasha? >> look, i mean, ill defer to the lawyer obviously but i think that its obviously fair to say that this is a very legitimate oversight request. the extent and breadth of the request is something that needs to be hammered out between the committee and the white house. it looks like at this point theyre willing to have the conversations. i mean, i know the white house counsel did say he did not really received much feedback from elijah cummings, the chairman, and he felt like...
