I want to come to say that the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Hyde) and the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Jackson) have done a wonderful job. Obviously, people underestimated their ability last Monday. No one is underestimating their ability today. We have done the work that is necessary in order to expand O'Hare. We feel that it is necessary. Last week, one of the Hispanic Members voted against the bill because some people were saying that Hispanics were going to be hurt by this expansion of O'Hare. Today we have a commitment of all of the Hispanic Members of this Congress to vote for the bill, including myself, who is present today to vote for this bill. We will not underestimate it. We know the quality of your arguments and the commitment that you have. Please understand that this is a gentlemen's disagreement. We respect and love you both very, very much.
