The plan is.... Today we should have had at least five or six witnesses. The clerk is already in contact with them, and we are so sorry because they were supposed to be here but we didn't hear anything from them.
I'm afraid that if we call those witnesses to appear in front of us at the next meeting on Monday and they won't be able to say anything, like today, as a chair I wouldn't like to see that and I don't think you, as members of the committee, would like to see that. I think that it was supposed to be the last meeting on that study, the transition to civilian life, but I will do whatever you want. After two weeks, we're going to come back, and on that Monday we're going to try to have those witnesses with us. I'd like to know if I should invite them and try to get them again for when we come back on Monday on our study of transition to civilian life. That's the thing.
Also, I know that we have a lot of notices of motions, so maybe we should think about having committee business to discuss everything and to discuss what we're going to do. Also, we have the report on women veterans. We have to look at that report, because it is an important study that we are doing.
Go ahead, Mr. Richards.
