Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Thank you, Mr. Bass, for the overview and the papers you've provided as well. It's extremely helpful.
In regard to your last point first, if you're going to go anywhere in open government, you need leadership that is dedicated to openness. We're going to have a tough time getting started here, from where we currently sit.
In any event, these are two different systems of government. You have the White House and the various agencies, the Senate and the Congress. Ours is a parliamentary democracy, a different kind of structure, really, to a great extent. I imagine you understand both. Do you see any difficulties from that perspective in terms of us going to open government here?
