That is fine. Mr. Breslin is free to attend that meeting. In the event that we do not finish before the vote, there might be a brief period when we require his presence in the afternoon after the voting schedule, but we do not know that yet. If we keep the meeting to the precise topic at hand today, we will try to complete it before the vote in order that we can do our private business in the afternoon.

I call Mr. McCarthy to make his opening statement.
