The committee ordered acting commissioner Michael Dolan to appear as its last witness. Dolan said he would order hundreds of IRS managers to Washington to answer allegations of misconduct, and offered an apology: "I fully appreciate that an apology is little consolation when it comes at the end of the stress and obvious frustration these men and women have experienced. Nevertheless, I do apologize to each of them. They deserved far better treatment from the IRS than they received."
