You know, over the last few weeks as wen trve beeng to bring the repeal and replace bill to the house floor, President Trump got directly involved and reached out to all members of the house and said, bring me your best ideas. And the good news is over that period weve seen so many members of our conference bring conference bring those good ideas. Starting with the Republican Study Committee. You know, as the Republican Study Committee started putting together some of those ideas, he brought them to the house leadership and also to the president. And what they found was a president and willing and open engaging in this process directly to get the best ideas pulled into this package that help us not only make it a better bill, make it a more conservative bill, but make it a bill that has a better chance to finally pass and get through the senate. Thats been his mission from the very beginning. And one of the things that President Trump said today, he asked every member with these changes to vote for the bill and President Trump himself committed that hes all in, 100 in for this bill, and all of these members were in various places. Some for, some undecided, some even against the bill initially who all with these changes that President Trump has brought to us are now a yes on this bill. And i cant thank the chairman of the Republican Study Committee enough for his leadership in helping bring those good ideas forward. As were working with other members in our conference at the same time, the Republican Study Committee really led to get some important reforms. I want to introduce the chairman, mark walker. Mr. Walker thank you very much. We are excited to be here, obviously. Were in the middle of a sixweek work process.
