Thank you, Senator Byrd, for your comments and for your inspiration and for talking about the history of this great country and this special celebration of the Fourth of July, 2000, with family and friends. It is a special time for our country and in our lives. I look forward to it. Senator Byrd, I will have the presence of my very fine grandson that you spoke so beautifully about just 2 years ago on his birth date. I look forward to that moment.
