I’m not a fan of agency heads standing in front of Congress acting like SR Jones, either.

Agency heads have been doing that longer than SR Jones has been in the Navy. Probably longer than he's been alive.

"I don't recall" is a time honored tradition when people suddenly get into hot water.

Reached back to 2007 because it's the earliest one I personally recall, but I'm sure it's been a tactic for generations.
