I want to clarify the record on one thing, before Senator Heflin leaves the floor. As he knows, he and I talked about it, I also have a stent in my heart. We are getting conflicting information. My doctor told me he was part of the team that developed stents out at the National Institutes of Health. He never did mention the space station or any part of space. So we will have to reconcile that little difference about who developed stents. In any event, I am grateful to whoever did it.
