I want to congratulate this entire committee. Every one of you finished in exactly 5 minutes, so congratulations.
But I am mindful of something Rahm Emanuel said when he was chief of staff to President Obama in 2009. He said you never let a serious crisis go to waste. I am afraid some of us are doing that here.
I want to thank the Chairman for bringing this bill forward, and hopefully we can get this thing done and out of here by Christmas.
I think educating the public about this is extremely important and then being prepared for this, if it does.
