To both of our witnesses, on behalf of the committee, I want to thank you very sincerely for your testimony here. It's been fantastic.

To underscore what Mr. McCauley said earlier, I wish we would have had you earlier in our deliberations. As a final point, I make the offer to all of our witnesses—and I'm quite sincere when I make it to both of you—that should you have any additional information, recommendations, or suggestions that you think would assist this committee in its deliberations before we craft our final report, I would sincerely ask you, and encourage you, to submit those recommendations to our clerk so that it can form part of our final report.

Your testimony has been informative and helpful. Thank you once again for taking the time out of your very busy schedules to be with us today.
