So we may refer the bill back to the House.

I want to tell you all that I really appreciated the tone of the meeting today. I gave some of you a lot of leeway in your questions, but I didn't sense any partisanship, so that's just an explanation as to why I let the questioning continue on. I appreciate your cooperation on this.

If there's a lot of partisanship, I have to enforce the five and seven minutes. That's my role.

Is there anything else before we adjourn? No?
