It's a pleasure for me to bring this meeting number 42 to order.
We have a very distinguished guest here today from True Patriot Love—what a name. Bronwen Evans will speak with us. She's the president.
Before I introduce her, I'd like to talk about next week. Next week on my calendar is Holy Week, and Good Friday is a statutory holiday. Because of that, in the House, we will have the schedule on Holy Thursday that we normally have on Friday. Members of the committee have asked me whether this means we have a committee meeting anyway.
This is what I propose we do, and the reason is quite simple. There's a witness we've been trying to get, SISIP, Service Income Security Insurance Plan, and next Thursday is the only time they can come. If we had our meeting at 8:45 a.m., provided the chair shows up on time, we could have a one-hour meeting until 9:45 a.m., and those of us who have House duty would still be ready to be in the House on time, but I'll only follow your directions; I'm just your servant.
