Good morning, everyone. Pursuant to order of reference of Wednesday, June 6, 2018, this is a study on the situation of endangered whales, motion M-154.
I'll start off by apologizing to our witnesses who have been here waiting. We had an unexpected vote which delayed us.
With the permission of the committee, what I would like to do, instead of losing a full half-hour to the first group, is shave 15 minutes off each one. We'll go until 12:15 p.m. and then switch to the second group and go until 1 p.m.
Does anybody have a problem with that? Is that okay?
