I thank my friend for the response. Seeing the legislation is obviously helpful. We are really regretful we don't have a chance to offer an alternative in the real-time. We will look at the legislation. We will see if we can find a suggestion that will help meet the goals that we agree with in a more effective way. That 24-hour notice from now on we would hope would be a pledge that the majority will be able to retain. My good friend Mr. Hoyer mentioned the 9/11 Commission report. One of the recommendations of that commission was a realignment of committees. We didn't make that realignment of committees in the rules package. I wonder if there is any plan for that kind of realignment, and I would yield to the leader for that response.
