I will be happy to talk about TPP for a moment. I have some time coming up on a different topic. But one of the issues around it has been the secrecy under which it has been negotiated. I actually, some months ago--to show that these are not just partisan concerns--sent a bipartisan letter, with Darrell Issa, requesting that there is more transparency about this process. I have had the opportunity on three occasions to review the text in my office. My own staff wasn't allowed to even be there with me. The American people are unable to execute the proper oversight over something that is of great economic importance to our country because of the secrecy under which it is being negotiated.
