I thank you for your indulgence and your courtesy to be able to put up with me at this particular point. Obviously, I'm very hopeful that we'll have a very productive and engaged committee. With today's proceedings deemed primarily for the election of chairs—

I'd like to propose that those motions be discussed next week, on Tuesday, with other routine proceedings. Therefore, I do move that we now adjourn this meeting. The Chair : A motion for adjournment is non-debatable. I'll call for a vote on the matter. (Motion agreed to: yeas nays 5) The Chair: This meeting is adjourned to the call of the chair.
