Okay. We can't just go into subcommittee. It takes too long to do that, but let me just clarify that.
My understanding is that basically Mr. Lake has tabled a motion to move in camera, but we don't have time to move in camera because the transition takes a good 10 or 15 minutes—

No. I was interested in what Mr. Weiler was saying. I don't think there's any reason to prohibit the public from hearing his suggestion. I don't think there's a need to go in camera or to adjourn. We could let Mr. Weiler finish his thoughts.

As I understand it, in your original motion to adjourn, you asked for unanimous consent to adjourn, and it was refused. You can move a motion....
Mr. Lake, you moved a motion to adjourn. It's a votable motion and the majority rules. It's not debatable. Let's go to a vote to adjourn or not.
(Motion agreed to: yeas 6; nays 5)
