WALLACE: "Just the suggestion that you would run for speaker has brought out some criticism from conservatives. They note you ran a hearing on Planned Parenthood this week. Take a look."

CHAFFETZ: "Your compensation in 2009 was $353,000. Is that correct?"

RICHARDS: "I don't have the figures with me. But I don't want --"

CHAFFETZ: "It was. Congratulations."

WALLACE: "Critics say that you focused on the wrong thing, you focused on the Planned Parenthood's finances and not on the videos, and the fact they're trafficking fetal body parts."

CHAFFETZ: "Well, we issued the subpoena. I issued a subpoena. We don't have all the videos yet, but I do think it's legitimate for a not-for-profit organization to question how they spend money. Exorbitant salaries, first class travel, charter airplane, they're sending money overseas. These are not things that a not-for-profit needs. $127 million more in revenues than expenses and they want more federal money? I think we can tackle it both on trafficking in fetal body parts, but also about the finances."
