Sorry, I'm going to have to stop you just for a second.
The bells, of course, now that we've gotten started, are ringing. I need unanimous consent from the committee to allow you to finish your opening comments. If we don't have unanimous consent, then we'll have to suspend at this point. If we do have unanimous consent, we can perhaps go through your statement and then we'll have to suspend until after the vote.
Do members agree to continue with the opening statement?
