Actually, I want to ask you one too, so I'm glad you're both up here. Mr. Chairman, you have worked with us and tried to help us, and I would agree with Mr. Walden on that. You were kind enough to offer something a minute ago that I'd just like to, if I may, accept that offer. You said you would write a letter to the chairman of the authorizing, the respective authorizing committees, which I think are both Resources and Agriculture in this case.

I think that would be a step in the right direction here.
