Mr. Chair, this is the composition of the steering committee of the foreign affairs committee, of which you are a member, and it works very well, as you know, despite the fact...because we are all congenial. I do not see why, on the one hand, when we are in the foreign affairs committee we are working within that steering committee structure, which is the chair and a member from each party.... I think it would be more appropriate to leave it like that. You know from your experience working on that steering committee that it works very well.
