I nominate Senator Tim Lombard.

That is fine. Are there any other nominations? As there are not, I declare Senator Lombard elected Vice Chairman. Will the Senator accept the nomination, or will he rush out the door?

That is fine. I thank everyone for their time and co-operation. I look forward to working with all the members for the duration of this committee's tenure. I assure them that I will make every effort to ensure that the time they spend on committee work will be productive and will result in positive outcomes.
