Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, witnesses.
I'd like to go to Mr. Phillips first. We had the cattlemen in, and we've heard the very strong support for this I think throughout the whole agriculture industry. You mentioned something, though, that was a little disturbing to me, and that was that you had to actually go back over to Japan to discount some of the false allegations about us being able to provide a quality product to Japan, which we already are doing, but I guess to re-confirm that.
How were you received when you went back over there?
