my good friend, Mr. Weldon says, I am the new subcommittee 

 Chairman. He is the new ranking member. I can assure you we 

 want to work with you. I know that several subcommittee members 

 and I have questions for the witnesses, and we would appreciate it 

 if you could reply in writing to the questions that we are going to 

 submit to you. Excuse us for the inconveniences that we have had 

 this afternoon. We had some votes — interruptions that we had. 

 Anybody who can go through this process becomes a six-star expert 

 witness before this committee. We appreciate you being with us 

 today, and if there are no further questions, the Subcommittee 

 stands adjourned. Thank you very much. 

 [Questions by Mr. Ortiz may be found at the end of the hearing.] 

 [Whereupon, at 4:35 p.m., the Subcommittee was adjourned, and 

 the following was submitted for the record:]
