Right. Because we have to be. Like you said, if we don't do it, you shut down the government. No other committee has that jurisdiction. And I noticed Many of the more established members... were pretty silent during this process. Right. Because I think they know it's wrong. They were silent, Mark. Yeah. And, well, that will hopefully change soon. And I look forward to when you will be chair of the committee again, Rosa, because honestly, just bringing back the respect of the institution should be a bipartisan goal. (30:10–30:22)
