Are there speeches on the part of the majority? The Chair recognizes Councilman Goode.

Thank you, Madam President. Just a reminder, there's a Commerce and Economic Development hearing at 12:30, approximately 45 minutes from now. There is a joint committee hearing at 1 o'clock, so we need a timely quorum at 12:30. Thank you.

Thank you. The Chair recognizes Councilman Jones.

Thank you, Madam President. As the City debates whether we should have a sign that says "holiday" or a sign that says "Christmas" in the village on the concourse, as we debate whether there are going to be winners or losers based on BPT tax reform, I'd like to remind people that we have a 9.4 percent unemployment rate for Americans. I'd like to remind people here in this Chamber and also in Washington, DC that many of them face the prospect of their unemployment expiring, and if we don't do something, they're not going to have a happy holiday, Christmas, Kwanzaa or New Year's or Hanukkah. And we really need to take action on those things, and those things during this time of year, during the holiday season, need to be remembered and put on the forefront of public policy agenda. Thank you.

You're welcome. The Chair recognizes Councilwoman Blackwell.

On note, Madam President, I will note, as was said yesterday, that we're also glad that we can continue to call John Christmas from my staff John Christmas and not John Holiday.

Are there any other speeches or comments from members of the Committee? (No response.)

Seeing none, the Chair recognizes Councilman Clarke for a motion to adjourn.
