I would like to make just a short amendment. There are some committees, Chair, that allow a representative from the whip's office of each party. I would put for consideration that we allow that too, because sometimes, especially in a case where I'm sending a substitute--maybe my assistant is with me--whoever is here is going to need the whip's office here to give advice. Otherwise it's going to slow the meeting down.
Some other committees are doing it. I would move an amendment that we would also be allowed a representative from each of the whip's offices.
