Before I go to questions and comments, I understand there are some difficulties with the lights that go along with the microphones. I have been told that the microphones are functioning, even though the lights may not be on. I can tell you that the light on my microphone is not on right now either.
If you are recognized by the chair, proceed as though your microphone is on and we will stop you if it is not.
