morella, you wanted me to yield to you? okay. i would say to the gentleman that the rule that is before us is very proportional in terms of, it would allow you, if you so chose, to come here every week, do your thing, sit in that chair, but it also would allow elsie hastings to offer his perspective and his knowledge on behalf of the people he represents. and for all of you to suggest that he shouldn't be given that opportunity in this pandemic, which is very serious. you admit that. i think it's just fundamentally flawed and ultimately leaves a lot of people without representation, which is the whole point of our government. and with that, i yield back. >> dr. burgess. do you have questions? >> thank you. thanks, to our witnesses for being here today. mr. pence, let me just add my praise to what you just heard your brother during his time of service here, he was probably the best conference chairman that i've served with. and we honor his service here and we miss him, but we're glad he's where he is today so please convey that.
