The hearing will come to order, please. We have a crowded room. I am sorry we have not chairs enough for everybody. Perhaps we can secure enough after awhile to fill the room. We had to go from a room which we had arranged into this larger one, and even this seems to be crowded. So you will help us a lot if you will be as quiet as possible.
