I thank members and the witnesses for their presentations, the manner in which they sought to answer questions and the detail they went into. The main thrust of our ask is to ensure there is an effort to provide the committee and, by association, the House, with the components within ELS provisions for next year and that they be divided into three, in each Department. It is incumbent on us as the Committee on Budgetary Oversight to allow people to have easier access to the information and to understand these better than they do currently to ensure that the budgetary process is an informed one for those we represent. I ask the witnesses to seriously consider providing that information.
