I think the blue ribbon commission is very necessary to get the answers that we ought to be able to get. So we reflect on the joint committee and the ability of Members, all the other things that demand our time and so on. I think it becomes pretty clear that we need this extra assistance to give the country and to give those families the information that they need, and they will not be satisfied with anything less.
