I thank the gentlewoman from Pennsylvania (Ms. Scanlon) for yielding, and I thank her for her amendment. I would just say very quickly, I think this is a good amendment that actually improves the bill. And to the point of the gentleman from Arizona (Mr. Schweikert), it is because technology is changing quickly all the time and one has to kind of keep ahead of the curve on that to make sure the decisions are made in a sensible way, that having a committee that can assemble the kind of expertise that you need to bring to bear on a decision like this makes perfect sense. It can allow the EAC to function better. Evaluating these security grants, I think, makes a lot of sense, and they can keep up-to-date on what the changing technology is so that the EAC can benefit from that input. So I think it is an outstanding amendment. I want to thank the gentlewoman from Pennsylvania (Ms. Scanlon) for introducing it. I support it.
