Mr. Emmer. Furthermore, you cannot tell half-truths or exclude information necessary to make statements accurate. You are required to provide all information that would make your response truthful. A deliberate failure to disclose information can constitute a false statement. Do you understand? Secretary Lutnick. I do. Mr. Emmer. Is there any reason you are unable to provide truthful testimony in today's interview? Secretary Lutnick. No. Mr. Emmer. Please note that, if you wish to assert a privilege over any statement today, that assertion must comply with the rules of the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. Pursuant to that, committee rule 16(c)(1) states, "For the chair to consider assertions of privilege over testimony or statements, witnesses or entities must clearly state the specific privilege being asserted and the reason for the assertion on or before the scheduled date of testimony or appearance." Do you understand? Secretary Lutnick. I do. Mr. Emmer. Ordinarily, we take a 5-minute break at the end of each hour of questioning, but if you need a longer break or a break before that, please let us know, and we will be happy to accommodate. However, to the extent that there is a pending question, we would ask that you finish answering the question before we take a break. Do you understand? Secretary Lutnick. I do. Mr. Emmer. Do you have any other questions before we begin? Secretary Lutnick. No.
