Thank you, sir.
Yes, I did, and I very much appreciate the efforts of Mr. Whalen and in no way feel.... He's very sensitive to the fact that he's not a member of this committee and he didn't want to feel as if he's coming in here and trying to be the one who shakes everything up, but I think any contribution to trying to get out of where we are, because we're looking for a resolution, is helpful and appreciated. I thank him for that.
I have taken a look at the language and it's helpful language. It's positive language, but Chair, for me the politics of it are that it's kind of the next step. It deals with what we do to make sure that this doesn't happen again going forward in terms of the funding.
