I ask unanimous consent that Shane Knisley, a Department of Defense detailee, have the privilege of the floor throughout this discussion. I think all of us understand how valuable our detailees from the Department of Defense are in the work we do. Particularly in this matter, it has been helpful to me to have his sage advice. I appreciate that he is in our office and has been a valuable member of our team on this issue. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
