The first time i met tim smith was 455th anniversary in the Vicksburg Campaign, and i went for the American Battlefield trust along with chris white out to do a series of videos. And so i meet tim on Champion Hill on the anniversary of the battle, which, as a civil war nerd, i was totally out about. Right. But its not that its even worse than that because i packed a whole suitcase of tim smith books for him to sign. So im like, tim smith, so glad to meet you. Sign my books. Yeah. Total fanboy going on at the moment and tim was super gracious and very kind about it and since then we have grown to become friends and he is truly the epitome me of the gentleman and the scholar. But hes the southern gentleman and the scholar. So everything he says is not only kind and polite, but with a really quaint drawl, which is wonderful and he is so gracious with his time. Hes been deeply, deeply invested in his series about the Vicksburg Campaign. If you havent had the opportunity to read those books

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
