I thank you so very much, Congresswoman Kaptur, for joining us. The heart and soul of America's manufacturing sector was the Midwest, and Ohio at one point was the strongest part of America's manufacturing economy. I know it can be restored. And right here in this area with the rolling stock of America's transportation system, with the new technologies, whether they're wind or turbine, if we use our tax money to support these industries rather than to support industries that are located in China or other countries, I think we can then provide the kind of strength that will return to America once again in the manufacturing sector. We're nearly out of time, and this has been a great discussion. I just want to turn for a few moments to another colleague from California.
