We not only want to thank our good friend from Virginia for those thoughts about the religious holiday--which I am now going to leave here to celebrate--but I want to thank him for the sensitivity which he has shown to that issue and to every other issue that involves personal lives. He has consistently done that for 23 years. It is part of his makeup. He has very much worried whether I would be able to leave here in time today to get to synagogue. I very much appreciate his consideration.
