Roger being the veteran campaigner that he is, he was able to secure that position through his hard work and dedication.
I know everyone is eager to get to business from the number of phone calls I received asking for an early meeting, and so we'll start.
There are a couple of things. We've arranged to hear some witnesses for the first hour on Thursday. We also need to deal with routine motions and future business. If we had unanimous consent, we could actually deal with the routine motions and future business today, and we wouldn't need to deal with that on Thursday in the second hour. If we deal with that today and we conclude early on Thursday and are not able to get additional witnesses, then we'll adjourn early on Thursday and start regularly scheduled meetings thereafter.
Is there unanimous consent to proceed with routine motions and future business this morning?
