Thank you very much.
The practice at this committee is to allow each party seven minutes in the first round to make comments and question witnesses. We'll begin that.
I have to tell the committee that I have to leave in about 20 minutes. Mr. Phil McColeman has agreed to replace me. Some other members have also told me they will have to leave and maybe return as well. There's been agreement for this to take place--to let those who are watching on television know what's happening,
Mr. Holland, please, for seven minutes.
