Thanks, Chair.

The witnesses had to be dismissed today because there was a filibuster at the end of the last meeting we had. Had we voted on the question at hand then, we wouldn't have had the business to deal with again today, and it looks like this will carry forward to another meeting.

We can walk and chew gum—I can—so I'm prepared to have multiple studies happen at one time, so I support the main motion. I don't support the amendment. We'd be cancelling on our upcoming witnesses, and I think we can do both at the same time.

Thanks.
