The committee will reconvene. When we recessed we were about to hear from mr. Castor. Mr. Castor, youre recognized for 45 minutes. Thank you, mr. Chairman. Thank you for having me back, giving me the opportunity to testify about the evidence gathered during our impeachment inquiry. At the outset let me say the evidence does not support the allegations that my democrat colleagues have made. And i dont believe the evidence leads to the conclusions they suggest. Im hopeful to add some important perspective and context to the facts under discussion today.

The fifth time that the Chicago Council are here to release their survey of American Public opinion. Its a Great Partnership that we have with the Chicago Council and in the parlance of this report and prior reports, its an enduring alliance. Its also reassuring, certainly to me, to learn the good news in this report. That americans by huge, bipartisan, huge, bipartisan margins continue to support an active u. S.
