The next thing I'd like to mention prior to adjourning the meeting is that my thought was that if you e-mailed the clerk of the committee or me the ideas and issues that you would like to have the committee look at, we could bring those together for Thursday's meeting, rather than have to put together a subcommittee right now. Given the way everybody's schedules are, would you e-mail the clerk of the committee the issues that you'd like to see the status of women's committee work on, and then on Thursday we could discuss those and develop a work plan? That is a thought that I put out for the committee.

Yes, Ms. Guergis.

Thank you.

We will adjourn the meeting. In spite of the fact that we've started this out already in a little bit of a...let's remember that the women of this country and the families of this country expect us to work together and to move those kinds of agendas forward, so I look forward to working very closely with all of you.

Thank you.

The meeting is adjourned.
