Will the gentleman yield? Mr. McKEON. No. I think we've probably said enough. What I would say at this time is we do support this. The bill was overwhelmingly supported out of committee 60-1, 322-96 in the House. We're moving strongly on this issue. We will support it through the conference and do our best to see that it remains in the bill because it is such a very important issue. With that, I yield back the balance of my time.
