00:00Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman.
00:02Secretary Besant, this is the first time we've met.
00:06Is that correct?
00:07No, ma'am.
00:08We actually met one New Year's Eve in the Bahamas.
00:12And I was...
00:13He didn't make an impression.
00:17Why don't I remember that?
00:20Well, you were much better at the electric slide than I was.
00:23And I was with the Prime Minister of the Bahamas yesterday,
00:27Prime Minister Davis, who sends his regards.
00:29Well, were you with my husband when he was the ambassador
00:33to the Bahamas appointed by Clinton?
00:38Well, you're not going to like this.
00:41And so this is the first...
00:43I didn't remember that, but that's odd because you've been at Treasury
00:49and I've sent you five letters to ask about what was going on

00:58from your staff.
00:59Why don't you respond?
01:01Sorry, ma'am.
01:05I guess you don't know why you didn't respond.
01:07This is the first day.
01:16Yeah.
