zuckerberg and mr. chu are appearing voluntarily. i am disappointed that our other witnesses have not done that. the others are here pursuant to subpoenas and mr. cintron on the excepted service after u.s. marshals were sent to discord's headquarters at taxpayer expense. i hope this is not a sign of your commitment or a lack of commitment to addressing the serious issue before us. after the witnesses, each witness will have five minutes to make a statement. senators will ask questions any opening ground for each of seven minutes. i expect to take a short break at sometime during questioning to allow the witnesses to stretch their legs. if anyone is in need of a break at any time please let my staff know. before i turn to the witness side, i would also like to take a moment to acknowledge that this area has gathered a lot of attention as we expected. we have a large audience. the largest i have seen in this room today. i want to make clear as with other judiciary committee hearings, we ask people to behave appropriately. i know there i
