I appreciate the gentleman pushing this issue. Again, as I said, burying power lines I think is a positive thing. It does add to the beauty of the landscape. But I just don't believe that it is the Federal Government's role to underwrite, the taxpayers to underwrite, these utility companies. So, again, I appreciate the withdrawal. I appreciate your pushing this issue. I continue to oppose the amendment. I yield back the balance of my time.
