I cannot applaud Rutland enough, because we had a similar hearing a few years ago when Senator Arlen Specter and I were here, and that shaped a number of federal programs for the better because of what we heard from you.

The priority was to protect the family at all costs.

Well, you are the Senate. You decide how to proceed.
