Thank you so very, very much. Thank you for being part of what, to my knowledge, is the first bipartisan hour. We ought to do this more. This issue isn't a Democratic or Republican issue, a left or right issue. This is a true American tragedy--and one that is also going to be a true American financial as well as a family problem. One of the gentlemen that has been involved in this from the very early days is my friend from New York (Mr. Tonko). Thank you for joining us, Mr. Tonko. I know you have had a very difficult evening with one of our colleagues who lost her spouse this evening. Thank you for caring for her and joining us this evening.
