Mr. Chairman, that is a very kind offer. I concur with so many things that you said and wanted to indicate that.

There are so many good examples, around this country, of industry and universities developing very powerful partnerships.

Not only is it a win-win for the direct participants, but the community wins, the economy wins, the state wins.

Very briefly, I want to start out and just tell you how much I appreciate what you're doing here.
