#shorts Senator Kennedy asked, “you describe yourself on your website as a globally recognized thought leader, is that correct?
Witness: Yes, sir.
Kennedy: Okay. And, um, you give paid speeches, do you, on occasion?
Witness: I do. You have your own agent, I believe, according to your website, Lee Bureau.

Kennedy: This is correct. And how much do you charge per speech?

Witness: It varies depending on the audience, the amount of preparation work that goes, and the amount of follow-through.
Kennedy: The last paid speech you gave, how much did you receive?
Witness: Uh, I would be happy to follow up on…
Kennedy: You don’t remember?
Witness: I do not.
Kennedy: You keep the money, don’t you? You don’t give that money to Tulane?
Witness: I do not.
Kennedy: You keep it.
Witness: Yes, this is outside of my capacity as a professor, right? As is, Senator.

Kennedy: You’ve recently sent a letter, um, you recently joined a lot of other academics. You signed a letter demanding that elite institutions and universities stop accepting money from fossil fuel companies. Is that correct?

Witness: This is correct.
Kennedy: You consider Tulane an elite university?
Witness: I would like to think that we have a high standard of excellence in our education and our research.
