Here's the problem that I see, and I'm asking you both if you see a solution for this.

This is such a complicated topic.

I'm spending a ton of my time on it.

I'm reading about it.

I'm talking to smart people.

Even the smartest people I know, with few exceptions, constantly ask me questions or say, I don't know the answer to that, or people don't really know the answer to that question.

If you're a member of Congress or a governor, you're busy.

You're doing a million things.

You're not an expert in this.

But there's nothing more important.

You know, I keep saying to people, let's say there's going to be a Martian invasion.

You drop everything else and you breed up on the Martians.

You'd read up on how to deal with the Martian invasion.

So what's the solution if a member of Congress, Beverly, or a governor came to you and said, I need to know more.

I can't possibly address this.

What should they be doing?

Should they be setting aside time for meeting with experts?

Should they be asking the leadership in Congress to do something?

How can we get them better informed as busy as they are and as complicated as this is?

All right.
