Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I want to thank the committee for focusing on the forest industry. We certainly need your support, your help, and your concentration.
We have many economists as witnesses today, but I thought before we go to economics, given that it's St. Valentine's Day, we should start with love. The forest industry is offering the committee members Valentine's Day cookies in the shape of hearts, and let the record show that we're spreading love to all parties.
Just pass them around.
