Live coverage here on cspan. Needless to say, our committee has been working very diligently on a lot of transformational policy. While were waiting for our colleague here, i think ill thank senator wicker again for his work on the chips and p science act. I think people may not remember but this committee i dont know how many amendments we processed. Sen. Cantwell ity know it was in the hundreds. It might have been in the 300s. But i definitely believe that that kind of regular order process was good for the institutioned good for institution, good for the debate about science, and hopefully people will continue in todays hearing to understand that and understand much of the debate that maybe wasnt as clear in a big public perspective as it was to all of us who were working behind the scenes daily to try to figure this policy out. Ok, well go ahead and get started and when my colleague gets here, hopefully hell be here soon, we will let him make his opening statement. But welcome, sec
