GONZALES: No, sir, I don't remember where that conversation took place.
GONZALES: Senator, I have no recollection of knowing when that occurred.
GONZALES: Senator, let me get back with you with the most accurate information.
GONZALES: Senator, I've already said that I misspoke. It was my mistake.
GONZALES: Senator, I didn't say that I was always prepared. I said I prepared for every hearing.
GONZALES: Senator, I've already conceded that I misspoke at that press conference. There was nothing intentional.
GONZALES: Senator, we do take time to try to prepare for the press conference.
GONZALES: Senator, I don't want to quarrel with you.
GONZALES: Senator, I have no recollection about that, but I presume that that is true.
GONZALES: Senator, of course, I was involved in trying to understand...
GONZALES: Senator, I don't recall sending a follow-up, quite frankly.
GONZALES: Senator, I have to be -- I have to know in my heart that I can continue to be effective as the leader of this department.
GONZALES: Senator, I don't recall whether or not I made the decision that day.
GONZALES: Senator, can I see what you're reading from?
GONZALES: Senator, I don't know that.
GONZALES: Senator, it's hard for me to answer the first question.
GONZALES: Senator, I have searched my memory. I have no recollection of the meeting.
GONZALES: Senator, I can only testify as to what I recall. Believe me, I've searched my mind about this meeting
GONZALES: Senator, I don't think -- I don't know that a decision was made at that meeting.
GONZALES: Sir, I don't recall when the decision was made.
GONZALES: Senator, I recall sitting in a meeting.

GONZALES: Senator, I wasn't aware of this e-mail.
GONZALES: Sir, I don't recall the exact time frame.
GONZALES: Sir, I don't know if I would call it a plan.
GONZALES: Senator, it's difficult for me to reconcile the conversation.
GONZALES: Which idea, sir?
GONZALES: I do not recall. I thought your -- I'm sorry, I thought your question whether you recall the conversation -- I don't recall the conversation. I don't recall whether or not I was present. I suspect I probably was, but I don't recall.
GONZALES: OK. I'm aware now of what you're referring to.
GONZALES: Senator, I don't recall ever seeing these evaluations.
GONZALES: You should attack me.
GONZALES: I should have been more precise in my statements.
GONZALES: Senator, I don't recall specifically that statement.
GONZALES: Senator, not to my knowledge.
GONZALES: Sir, I'd have no way of knowing.
GONZALES: Senator, I don't recall whether he called or if there was a visit. It may have been a call.
