If the gentleman will yield, George Stephanopoulos was in Santa Barbara this last weekend. He admitted that he really does not fully understand this situation because he only lives a few blocks from the office, the White House. Those that live here on Capitol Hill and work here in the administration obviously do not understand what our folks in our rural areas of the world have to do. They have to drive a distance, from work to their home, or to the grocery store, or to the gas station. In some instances they make a 100-mile round trip and maybe more. Yet that was quite an interesting comment because they just do not get it here in Washington, D.C. about how all the rest of us live.
