One ranking aide predicted new proposals "that have not even been rumored...
...accept the good faith of the members of Mr. Bryce's subcommittee I can only question their competence to evaluate PBH. The report and Mr. Bryce's comments contain serious inaccuracies and almost complete misunderstanding of our finances, and an argument that moves forward largely (though assuredly unintentionally) through implicit criticisms, undocumented assertions, and outright condescension...
