Well, I think the test of reasonableness for a committee in these kinds of things—and I can tell you that in 14 years I've never left the country with a committee, so it's not as if this is any desire to travel—is two things: is the work that we're doing important enough to warrant it, and is the information that we will gather of sufficient value to that work? By interventions from practically everybody who has appeared, I think this clearly meets that test, so I would encourage members to support it.
