I thought maybe we ought to start with Catherine next to me, because Catherine Murphy actually passed the first V-chip bill--[laughter]--in the United States of America. I think you all need to know that. It wasn't us; it was her. And so I think you ought to hear her story. And I'd like to know how you came to propose this legislation and what you think of it. [High school student Catherine Murphy described her presentation of V- chip legislation at the Girls Nation Senate she attended, mentioning that it passed but was then vetoed.]
