The session will now come to order. I thank everyone for coming on this going away day. My plan is that we will get as many Opening Statements as we can before votes and then hopefully all of you will come back to talk to our witnesses. I recognize myself, for five minutes. As the Consumer Protection subcommittee, we are committed to ensuring the safety of the american people.

That is not counting the number of people who are seriously injured in drunk driving
