Thank you very much, Madam Chair, and thank you to our witnesses for joining us today. I do appreciate the testimony you have provided.
As you noted, Mr. Graham, there's a recurring theme that we are hearing throughout the testimony that I would highlight that. Many witnesses appreciate much of what's in this bill, but they have concerns around certain provisions, one of them being the long-haul interswitching.
You mentioned the measures to exclude the movement of toxic inhalation hazard material and I think that was raised with me in a meeting that we would have had. I'm wondering if you can comment on what the rationale may be. Have you been provided with any rationale for why this exclusion has been made in this act?
