Okay, um, I don't see any other comments at this time, so I will remove my objection. Are there any other objections? Okay, seeing none, then the motion is approved and the committee will place the name of Mark Lundell in nomination before the legislature for appointment as legislative auditor. And I'll transmit the committee's nomination to the presiding officers of the House and the Senate for consideration and a vote by the legislature on the appointment. But please note, if the 34th legislature does not convene before the conclusion of its term and therefore does not vote on this nomination, I will submit the committee's nomination to the incoming presiding officers for consideration by the 35th Legislature.
