Mr. Chairman,

I am offended by the question as to my acquaintainces in the state department. I may have been approached upon occasion to join the state department but at no point have I sworn an oath of allegiance or accepted any gifts or gratuities from them. As the chairman likely knows the state department has a wide footprint in the national infrastructure of our country that is absolutely shocking. To think from the smallest NGO to the very ARMY the state department may have infiltrated with their insidious ideologies the fabric or American morality and democracy. Should it be required I will name names of those I think are currently or previously associated with the state department.
