“Allegations aside, no incontrovertible facts have been presented. That’s why the Senate vote was also overwhelmingly in favor. In the House, we wrote to all concerned agencies for their opinion on the matter, and all of them made no opposing position. The hearing was public and on record.”
“The public had an opportunity to make manifestations to the body. No one opposed. So, we can only judge all applications made in good faith on facts.”
