Yes, I know, but I want the committee to have the information before we make the decision.

We're out of time. We're going to book five minutes at the end of next Tuesday's meeting to discuss this.
It is essential that we adopt some sort of budget at next Tuesday's meeting. If not, all meetings beyond next week will be cancelled because I have no authorization to invite witnesses if I don't have a budget to pay for them to appear.
So if we don't adopt a budget next week on Tuesday, a whole bunch of things start to happen, because the Liaison Committee of the House is meeting and I need to be able to present a budget at that Liaison Committee meeting. As chair, I run out of money to invite witnesses at the end of next week. It's imperative that at the next meeting we come to some sort of agreement as a committee.
Without further ado, this meeting is adjourned.
