REP. ZOE LOFGREN (D-CA): Mr. Chairman, I won't make an extensive statement, I am looking forward to hearing as much of the testimony as I can and I also wanted to mention how pleased I am to see Mr. Valenti, since he has announced his retirement and I think it is enormously gracious of him to come by even though he is going on to brighter fields to share his views on this, and certainly along with the other witnesses.

Thank you very much, Jack.
