Why is today's meeting not televised?
It appears that it was the decision of the chair of this committee to televise our meeting on Thursday. To my knowledge, he did not request that that meeting be televised. You know that he is absent at this time. That is why he asked me to chair this meeting. I'm going to ask him the question, and you will have an answer as soon as possible.
With your permission, I would like to defer your questions, unless they are really urgent.
