Government Operations committee  I'd rather bring you some facts than my personal opinion. I'm just Carl here. I'd be interested in your personal opinions, to tell you the truth.

Government Operations committee  Again, this isn't my opinion, but you are going to meet a lot of interesting people in this committee, and a lot of interesting witnesses who have a lot to say about the act itself. We're only the first ones here. I can see that this committee is very hungry for information we do

We are creating a leadership

Government Operations committee  Yes.

Government Operations committee  Yes, it is.
