I think the Senator just hit the nail on the head. This isn't an abstract proposition, the fact that the President needs to have his team in place; I think everybody recognizes that. But it has real ``on the ground'' meaning for everyday decisions that are made affecting all Americans. Maybe we can talk for a little bit about some of the specific positions that are vacant, the people who have been nominated for those positions, why they are important for the American people, and what can happen if these positions are not filled. Would the Senator like to initiate discussion on that? I can certainly do the same.
