Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to touch on the ATEC solution you were talking about. I'm intrigued by the idea of different industry sectors coming together and working together for a common purpose. In your presentation you outlined a lot of things that show great benefit to the private industries themselves in going forward with this proposal.
Could you expound upon those benefits and also correlate that subject with the whole notion...? In your ask, you were saying that you want us to say we'd be open to sitting down with this group on a regular basis, because otherwise they're not going to do it. Does it not have merit on its own, such that it would stand on its own without that kind of response?
