If people have amendments, they can ask to meet with our staffs. We will go over the amendments to see if they are acceptable. The offices are open now.

The point I am making is we are open for business and we want to make sure everyone has the opportunity to talk to our staffs about any problems they have with the bill and ways it can be made better.

At 1 o'clock, we will be open for business.
