Thank you very much for that endorsement of me as the new chair of the Standing Committee on Veterans Affairs.
I am very pleased to accept the position, and I look forward to more congeniality as we go through our meetings. I like it when everyone agrees to something. That was very nice.
I have been fighting a cold, and I still haven't had a chance to talk to the clerk and to some of the people on where we sit in this committee, so I am going to adjourn the meeting, and our first meeting will be next Tuesday. Everyone will get notice.
The meeting is adjourned.
