[inaudible] im ready when you are. Are you live . Are we going . Senator whitehouse. Thank. , you can take a bit of a breather on your return to the committee. What i want to do is go through with the people who are watching the conversation that you and i had when we spoke on the telephone. You were kind enough to hear out a presentation that i made and i intend to have some questions in that area.

You get a lot of energy, a lot of headlines, and a lot of press. I remember having a conversation with you after one of those gatherings. That you areing being led more directly into the arena, and not long after that, you were elected to congress. Know, it was not the thing that i ever had on my bucket list. I never wanted to be
