I thank the gentlewoman from California. Mr. Chairman, I understand that California has unique issues with HOV degradation, and I believe a waiver process is appropriate. One size does not fit all. I think this is another example we can all learn from. California is different from Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania is different from Minnesota. I appreciate the gentlewoman for continuing to fight for this amendment. I know that Mrs. Mimi Walters, from southern California, was also an advocate for this. We went back and forth on the negotiations as it was in one minute and out the next; but I appreciate your perseverance and Mrs. Mimi Walters' perseverance in that we were finally able to get this amendment to the floor and come to agreement on it. I support this amendment, and I think it is the right thing to do. Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time.
