[background sounds] [inaudible conversations] [inaudible] Foreign Affairs will come to order. Everyone welcome. Without objection, representative connolly of virginia and representative ivy of maryland are waived onto the subcommittee for the purpose of questioning the witnesses at todays hearing. Without objection, the chair may do declare a recess e at any time. I recognize myself for the purpose of making an opening statement.
