I thank Senator McCain. He very humorously, with his great, good nature, kind of joshes himself comparing his patience to mine. My standard is not the one that anybody wants to follow around here; We will never get anything done. He is more than patient, and I am very grateful that he is standing there in that ranking position and sitting right in that ranking position. I hope he stays in that ranking position in some committee at least for many, many, many years--in the ranking position. Mr. McCAIN. I thank our distinguished chairman. Obviously, you have been here a long time. I also appreciate our staffs who, again, show that work-release programs are quite successful in the Senate. Thank you very much.
