Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Earlier, I simply said that I would be giving the witnesses more time to answer. I didn't say that was better; that was how the member took it.
Now I'll jump right into my questions, seeing what a limited amount time we have.
Mr. Shelson, I asked you earlier what your top priority was, and you said that members should stop yelling at each other and do something. That's great. I am seen as someone who can work with members across party lines. I want to work with all members to come up with solutions.
I want to know what your number one priority is in the very near term, so we can start helping our Afghan friends on the ground immediately.
