Welcome to the Meeting of the Interagency Autism Coordinating Committee that takes place every April during Autism Awareness Month. We are really pleased to have you here today and we have what we hope is an exciting agenda for you. We are going to hear from the CDC. We are going to hear from our friends to the North, who might be hopefully not telling us that winter is coming. We are going to hear from the FCC, a new contribution of the IACC. And we are going to have a panel presentation in the afternoon on disability employment and we are also going to hear from our National Autism Coordinator later and have a bunch of committee business to take 9 and of course public comments. It is a full day. We are glad to have you. With that, I will turn it over to – actually, before I turn it over, we will remind people that the live feedback link is open for public comment. If you give us your public comments this morning, then we will add them to the comment report out during the public comment session in the early afternoon. With that, I will turn it over to Susan Daniels for roll call, minutes, et cetera. DR. SUSAN DANIELS: Great. Yes. And the live feedback will be open until before the public comment period. So it won't be open in the afternoon. So anyone who would like to get your comments in, feel free to do that. We also wanted to just let you know because there were questions in previous meetings, we are offering CART today. There 10 is a quiet room to the side of this room.
