I regret the inconvenience.

I thank the gentleman. I appreciate his kind words about me and do any other members have questions they would like to bring up now?

I request the witnesses keep their opening remarks to no more than 5 minutes, and that members respect the same time limit for their questioning.

I should remind you that President Trump, I think, did very little if anything to help with the third missile site while he was President.
