Okay. Minutes from our previous meeting are on your iPad. Ask the committee to review the minutes and move that the minutes be accepted. And while doing that, I'll ask if there's any objection.

Report is approved by 11 to 0 vote. Next is, in the fifth item in business, is the consideration of the intro and referral report. And I'll move that the report be accepted and ask the committee to review that. Ask if there's any objections to the referral report. Seeing none, the report is approved without objection. Final item in business is the congratulatory report. and the chair moves that that report be accepted and ask the committee to review that. Is there any objection to the report? Hearing none, the report is approved without objection. Before we adjourn, I'll ask just a note to leadership members on both sides. We have a fairly extensive agenda today and we'll probably have one both next Tuesday and Wednesday. probably a very long session maybe not we see on Wednesday We are not shutting down the folks who want to present resolutions A lot of folks have invited teams and other folks to come in nor the other privilege of the floor but would ask the leadership members suggest that the comments can be a little bit shorter than they typically would. If it's a session day that's not as busy, we're getting to 45 minutes before we actually get to voting on bills in these sessions. And it doesn't look great when half of the House is somewhere else while someone's congratulating somebody. And particularly that we don't – the rule about not introducing each person on the team on the floor is also the same as if they're standing up in the balcony. You don't need to introduce each individual. Maybe a couple, that kind of thing. And I like applauding as much as everybody, but everybody doesn't get a standing ovation, I think, because anyway. So to the extent that you all can make those cautions to people so that we can move apace, especially next week where I think we'll have some long sessions, that would be good. All right. After saying thank you very much. And we get a round of applause from the Fourth Estate. So, yes, well, after that whining and hectoring, I will now move to adjourn the committee unless there's some objection. Seeing none, the committee is adjourned.
