Okay. Well i will ask each of you on the panel youve done such an amazing work. And, you know have given us so much to think about. I would like to hear from you in summary what you would like to see as next steps as a result of your work. Been that youve put so much effort into the research and the writing, and not necessarily relating to the piece youve written, but how you would like to see this play out, so jill .

We could work real hard, have all of these intensive negotiations, Everything Else, but it doesnt seem like its that difficult to me. I think that the money were spending now we need to come up with a simple fix. Not a 100 dollar saddle on a 10 horse. For those involved in this, keep it simple and get it done quickly. We need to get the Inspector Generals back to the point where they can do their job, a very important job that theyve done very well for many years. Thank you, mr. Chair.
