Given the fact that we have five minutes and have scheduled the second hour of Thursday's meeting very specifically for drafting instructions to the analysts, at this point—

Madam Chair, if I may, we do have five minutes. Five minutes is five minutes. We had a lot of what I would say was “unproductive” time today. If I can try to salvage even those last five minutes, I would move that we go into a closed session so we can at least start discussing drafting advice to the analysts.

(Motion agreed to)
