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 didn't say that I was always prepared. I said I prepared for every hearing.

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.
