As I explained to you, Mr. Martin, the acting principal clerk gave the advice that he needs to hear the subtleties of how we get this under the mandate, and the advice he gave me was to ask the movers to have an opportunity to at least make their case. Otherwise, they may very well come back and say that the motions are out of order. As a courtesy to the members, I wanted to give them an opportunity to make that case.
