That's a good question.
When I appeared at this committee on my nomination in 2017, I was asked if I could be ready in the spring of 2018 to offer recommendations. I said that it would be four months into my job and that I'd do my best, so I prepared. I started right from the time I started my position and the time went by.
In 2021, during an appearance here, someone asked me to make some recommendations, which I did. I prepared. I called them preliminary recommendations because there was no study at the time. I thought I'd say that these were preliminary in the event that there was a study. It gave me the opportunity to change my mind or add some.
That was in February 2021, so now it's been more than two years.
