Mr. Chair, I agree with your recommendation of having a further steering committee to address this issue. We've had to give the unfortunate news that not all the groups that would like to present to this committee...they weren't on the list. If we're now going to open it up again, the obligation on our offices is going to be to revisit the requests we've received since the deadline.
I really encourage you to gather the steering committee together and re-evaluate this question, because once the door opens, then we all have an obligation to go back to the groups that asked to be here and were not admitted the first time around.
