Thank you very much, Representative Holt. Certainly your State, my home State suffered economic consequences to the nth degree. It is a stark reminder that the cost of inaction here is painfully borne by taxpayers into the future also. So I am proud of the SEEC organization, the coalition raising the consciousness of the House as to the importance of this issue. We are joined by Representative Scott Peters from California. Representative Peters has worked in the environmental arena and has contributed greatly in that regard. We are proud to have you join us this evening, Representative.
