Great. Thank you and good morning.

I understand that our vice chair, Representative Cheney, is on.

Ms. Cheney, are you able to see and hear us?

Ms. Cheney. I can see and hear you, I'm not sure if you all can see and hear me. I'll try to sort that out if you can't, but good morning to everyone as well.

Okay. Great. Glad you are here as well.

So there's a court reporter, since this is a transcribed interview, and she will be making a verbatim transcript of the interview, please, Mr. Donoghue, answer each question verbally. You know, she doesn't obviously record head nods or shakes. She may ask you to repeat an answer or ask you to slow down. Just keep in mind that she's typing as you speak. I know you've been through this before and know how this works. She'll generate a transcript. It will be sent to your counsel for you to review and ensure that it's accurate before it is finalized.

I also understand that Congresswoman Murphy has joined us.
