Mr. David Cicilline:

I appreciate the suggestion and would be very proud to host a meeting of the grand committee in Washington. Obviously, I will first have to check with a number of individuals as we have very specific rules for how House proceedings can be used in dealing with outside organisations. I am, however, flattered by the suggestion and, obviously, the Congress of the United States considers to be this very important work. I am happy to follow up on the suggestion made and explain that my colleagues at this meeting have urged that the United States be the location of the next meeting. I will do all I can to make it happen.
