i'm talking about john dotson and peter fasseli. have you apologized to them? >> i spoke to agent dotson at the beginning of the hearing when the agent brought him by, gave him my telephone number if he wants to give me a call -- >> give you a call? why don't you call him and apologize. you're the attorney general of the united states. you're in charge of these people. they were, in effect, called liars and they were telling the truth. i think as head of that agency it should be your responsibility to say, hey, guys i'm sorry you were called liars when you did tell the truth. >> i'm not aware of them being called liars. we tried to treat them with respect. i don't think any adverse action has been taken against anybody that came and testified before this committee. to the extent there are concerns mr. dotson has, i will be glad to talk to him. i will note he had a meeting with the director of atf and expressed whatever his thoughts were @. if that's not been sufficient, i'm more than glad to have a conversation with him. >> i wish you would call him. thank you,
