There's no penalty in not getting to it, but you have a better chance of getting what you want as an administration, the sooner we can see and, and begin the hearing process. And if you don't get these things to it. If our Budget Committee can't produce a budget that can pass the House, not just their committee, but the House floor, if the administration doesn't get us their budget in a timely fashion, we're not waiting around, we're holding hearings. We'll just start marking up bills. We're going to be very aggressive. So that kind of nuts and bolts stuff nobody covers and most people aren't interested in has to happen. (21:19–21:33)
