Thank you very much.
I want to thank all of you for your economy of words. I truly appreciate it as do, I'm sure, all members of the committee.
We'll go to our seven-minute rounds. First up we have Mr. Whalen. I would ask all colleagues that, if you're going to be sharing your time, you please let me know at the outset of your intervention how much time you're going to cede to a colleague so that I can interject at the appropriate moment and make sure your colleague gets his or her spot at the microphone.
Mr. Whalen.
