No. Just a moment.
In my experience, we're just entering into a period of time that ultimately does not get the committee any productivity. It's probably not helpful to have multiple points of order or amendments all over the place on various things. I think everybody around this table knows exactly where this is going, and I think we should step back a second here and try to figure out what the deliverable is from our committee.

But if members want to get on to the substantive work we have to do, if it's so serious, if everybody's saying it's so serious, then we'd better treat it seriously with regard to points of order, with regard to more witnesses, with regard to amendments, with regard to all these very valid ways in which you can disrupt a meeting.
We only have two meetings left, this one and one more. That's it.
If we get this draft motion concurred in, in terms of the substantive content of it and the direction of the committee, we will wait until Tuesday, we will know what happens, whether or not anyone agrees to appear--of the witnesses that Madam Freeman made in her prior motion--and then we will entertain a motion as to whether or not the—
