Thank you, mr. Chairman. Ms. Barra youve mentioned several times in your comments todays gm. So my assumption is that you are going to run gm in a different manner than it has been run in the past . And that thats correct. And you are making some changes. I want to ask you just a little bit about time line. Helping us to get our hands around this because this is the first investigation were going to do. Were going to have others. And continue to look at this to get answers and figure out what has happened here between you all and nhtsa, and also within what happened at gm. So you mentioned in your testimony that this came to light on your watch. So i am assuming that there was no widespread knowledge in gm about this issue until you became ceo. Am i correct on that . At the senior level of the company, we learned of this after the recall decision was made on january 31st. I was aware in lace debtber december there was analysis going on cobalt issue.

Yes. And for some reason, though, the new switch was not given a part number and instead shared a number with the original defective switch. Is that correct . Yes. Now this new switch also did not meet gms minimum torque specificications either. This one delfi said was in the range of 10 to 15 and it really should have been 15 at a minimum. Is that correct . I have not seen the test results. You dont know that. Ok. Now, despite these facts gm continued to manufacture cars with these same ignition switches with the model years 2008 to 2011. Is that correct . Yes. And between 2004 and 2014, no Public Notices were issued as a result of gms knowledge of these facts and no recalls were issued for the over 2. 5 million vehicles manufactured with these defective ignition switches. Is that correct . Yes. And finally, three recalls were made this year, 2014. Two in february and one just last friday. Is that right . Related to this ignition ....

FBC The Willis Report November 10, 2014

You. Tell us what these emails uncovered . What did you learn . Well, what we learned from these emails was that this is the first time that General Motors has ever kind of made any acknowledgement they had issued an order, a parts order for 500,000 replacement ignition switches on december 18th. Up until now gm has claimed that no decisions, no action were taken on a recall until at least january 31st. At that time there was a meeting and a decision was made that a recall was needed. On february 7th, the Company Issued a recall, covering 700,000 different vehicles.
