Good morning.
It is a nice day today.
I first want to apologize for the delay. These things happen, of course. We were able to get a room in the same building, which makes it that much easier. We've missed about 25 minutes, but we'll hear from both groups and have two rounds of questioning.
As a reminder, this is the last day of our questioning before we delve into a discussion of our recommendations. After that, of course, we'll have the report finalized.
We'll start with Randy Jenkins, the acting senior director, integrated resource management. We also welcome Brett Gilchrist, acting assistant director, fisheries national programs.
The people you see this morning are no strangers to you, because they've been here before.
Will one or two of you speak? Just Mr. Jenkins.
You have up to 10 minutes, sir. Please proceed.
