I was somewhat mystified by the gentleman's amendment. He was talking about the border. As we understand it, the money for this amendment would go to Forest Service research, which is, as we understand it, $15.5 million over the old 2007 level, and $33 million over the President's level in our budget. We don't need any more money for the forest research. We've already very adequately and generously taken care of it. I appreciate the gentlelady for yielding and for her great leadership over many years. I have always enjoyed being your partner on this important amendment, and now we're close to getting back to where we need to get.
