I just want to note, as a person who always keeps time, that we're at 12 and a half minutes now, and I'm a little frustrated that we have somebody who's a witness here, and she gets to watch us do our work. Maybe we could find another way to be more respectful to our witnesses. I want to put that on the record.
I also want to thank the clerk for trying to figure out what we wanted and her hard work to try to clarify that. I think we should always remember that people are always patiently working behind us without any partisan views, just doing their work. I want to acknowledge that.
I have no problem with changing the tone. I hope we can get this through and out the door, so we can get on to other business that is really important.
I know there are members of this committee who have been waiting a long time for this study to get done, so let's get on with it.
I would recommend, if there's a change in tone wanted by Mr. Samson, that he give us something, so that we can get on with this.
