The procedure is certainly not within my control. There is a process under the legislation. If there is a nomination, it has to be approved by both the House and the Senate.
There was an advertised process last summer. I applied—it's on the public record—and I'm sure other people have applied.
Really, I've been asked this question many times. I conduct myself in a very objective manner. The way I'm conducting myself as interim commissioner is the way I would conduct myself as permanent commissioner. I made that decision even before I accepted this interim period. It was very clear and I was very clear with my staff as well. That's the way we have conducted ourselves, and that's the way we have moved forward.
I must say also that, if it is somebody else, I would be very pleased to leave an office that is in fantastic shape.
