My understanding is that the department is and has been trying to get a meeting with the committee. This is largely a timing problem, in that in order to get it into the supps, we had to have it done for today. We are probably moving ahead more quickly with the requests for approval than the briefing with the committee.

It is a timing issue. The department wants to meet with the committee, but has not been able to set that up. I assume they are ready to give a briefing at any time the committee can make the time available.
