Yes, Chair. We've got along so well as a committee. When we sat together, we tended to either basically negotiate it beforehand or have it all figured out in the committee among ourselves.
At the time, we thought a subcommittee was a waste of time, because decisions had to come back to the committee to be authorized anyway. The subcommittee could go out and do all this work and come back to the main committee, and all of a sudden they'd all get voted down. You might as well just do it all in the main committee and be done with it. Then we all know where we're going, and it gives everybody a chance to have their input into the direction the committee should travel—“travel” may not be the right word, but which way it should go.
