We will proceed to make introductions of the office conducting this interview today. Then we will explain how we intend to proceed. My name is Harry Kazenoff. I am the Assistant Counsel. And to my far right is Christina Salazar, Deputy Staff Director and Chief Counsel for the Majority Staff of the Committee. Additionally, we have Mr. William Henderson, Staff Director of the Majority Staff of the Committee. Additional majority staff are present, but we do not currently intend for them to speak during the duration of this interview, though we reserve the right to amend, as needed. Any new majority staff who ask a question will introduce themselves for the record. And with that, will the witness please state and spell their name for the record.

In context

A single line often inverts meaning once you see what it answers, so neighbouring messages are always shown.
