Thank you, Mr. Chairman, for calling this hearing.

We recognize your tremendous responsibilities, and we are here for you to point out how we can be more helpful.

As far as those 75, aren't you in a position to come before this committee and say that, 'Yes, some mistakes were made...'

If they can't give us any idea how long it would take to repair this emergency situation--which stains the government, it stains the executive branch, and it stains us--maybe we should set a date for our next hearing.
