Ago they called in senator mitchell and ken dubestein to investigate where they had gone wrong with the ioc and make recommendations. External respected, nonpartisan investigation. This committee to help u. S. Soccer set up a similar independent committee to find out what on earth has gone so badly wrong and it being covered up. Also u. S. Soccer could do what your government does, which is put everything online. The forms are inadequate. And then renew, reorganize and reinvigorated soccer could say to the world this is how it does. We are not in america pushing around but we can do it. It is all wide open. Join with us and the 209 National Associations would come with you finishing. Next monday, the absent mr. Gillaspie, who i think is treating you with contempt and the u. S. People of soblger, the men and women and the whole sport with context when he cant come here and defend the u. S.

[inaudible conversations] this hearing of the subcommittee is called to order. We have a vote scheduled for 3 00 which is troublesome. Well see how this goes as far south we have a circumstance when it arises. I would like to thank todays witnesses for participating in this important hearing regarding International Soccer governance. Im not one who generally thinks congress should investigate every scandal in the world of professional sports. Nor do i believe the topic we are discussing today will lead to legislation that must be enacted.
