Thank you.
I want to thank all the witnesses for providing their insight.
This study, I think, is one of the reasons we get into public life, because it is very important to the public and to society. We each may have a different way of getting there, but it's very important to look at an issue such as this.
Thank you, again, and thank you for your honest comments.
Have a safe weekend.
The meeting is adjourned.
