I will not consume very much time. I rise to express my deep appreciation one more time to my colleague and friend, the gentleman from Wisconsin (Mr. Obey), for his cooperating with me as we have gone through this initial conference process, but most importantly to congratulate both my colleague, the gentleman from Washington (Mr. Dicks), and my colleague, the gentleman from North Carolina (Mr. Taylor), for the fabulous job on this first of a series of conference reports that we expect to send to the President's desk. It is very early in the process, but the Interior bill will be on the President's desk, and I am very certain he will find it to be to his liking. So congratulations to each of you for your work.
