Well, thank you. I will start with some questions.

I think one of the things we are going to do from this hearing--these hearings are nice, but if you don't do anything to follow up, short of a lot of rhetoric.

But if there are problems with the law, or the law is 35 years old, it needs to be updated, and they should provide the leadership to give us some recommendations.

I am particularly grateful to the community of Bakersville, and also Mitchell County for the use of these historic facilities at this rather historic hearing.

We spent billions. I had the staff starting to count this. TWIC is half a billion by itself.

We put it in the law because they hadn't done it in the beginning, and he says, well, and then he says we never contemplated that this could be used for an ID.

My God, technical hurdles? We asked for this after 2001, and they were working on it.

I expect, and we will haul you back in here, that we get a pilot's license that meets the intent of the law.

I have seen people in tears at TSA lines because their ticket doesn't match their ID exactly.

So say by September 1st these agencies should have some standard to go by?

That worries me, I believe that is still.
