Madam Chair, just yesterday I got a courtesy call from the executive director and from the acting commissioner. It was a very brief call to inform me that he had received additional resources. I did not ask for any details. Instead, we discussed the transition period, and I told him that I was relying very much on the work that had been done by the Office of the Acting Commissioner. He told me that he was in a position to staff a number of key positions.
It is very important that we recruit highly-qualified individuals for these positions. It is very difficult to do that at this point, because we do not yet know what the needs are and what the impact of the legislation will be. It is a small office, but it will operate very professionally. One of my first obligations will be to look at the resources.
