I want to welcome all of the witnesses who are with us today.
Colleagues, as you know, we're continuing our study of small and medium-sized enterprises and federal procurement.
Today we have several associations and companies with us to provide testimony. Rather than introduce all of them and their affiliations right now, I'll let the witnesses do that when they speak.
We will start in the order that I have the witnesses on my sheet, with the Association of Consulting Engineering Companies, Mr. John Gamble, president and chief executive officer.
John, you have the floor.
