I want to thank my colleagues for their collegiality around the table today. There were great questions.
I want to thank our witnesses, and of course the people who helped with the video conference, and everybody who supported the meeting today. It was very helpful and informative.
I am going to suspend the meeting for a couple of minutes. Then we'll come back and discuss how we are going to proceed with our agenda.
Thank you.
Colleagues, we will resume.
As we all know, we have adjusted our work schedule a little, and we have some goals and objectives as a result of that adjustment that are going to require us to give some instructions to the analysts. As this is going to be the first report of any substance that we will be issuing from this committee, and most members of the committee are relatively new, as we are going through this process, I think we need to take a look at where we want to be and start working backwards to make sure we have enough time to achieve the goals the committee has agreed to.
At this point, I would like to turn it over to our analyst, if he is okay with that, to give a proposal of how he envisions this unfolding and some of the questions he has, so that he is able to do his work, the excellent work the library does in providing us with our reports and recommendations. Then we can discuss how we, as a committee, want to proceed in our deliberations to make sure that we can achieve our objectives.
I'll turn it over to you, and we'll go from there.
