As in any conflict, if you can find a replacement, it would be beneficial. I would prefer not to start at 10 because there are Remembrance statements by all parties; however, I don't think we have another alternative.
Mr. Palecek, if you can hear me, your appearance will be at 10 tomorrow morning. Thank you, sir. You're certainly welcome to stay for this.
Mr. Chopra, thank you very much for your patience. I think you know how things work around here; you've been before this committee enough times. We'll ask for a brief opening statement, which will be followed by questions by committee members.
Mr. Chopra, for five minutes or less, the floor is yours.
