I get a kick out of him calling me his senior colleague on this matter. We are at least equal. I say to my colleague, I consider you to be the leader because without your decision to be part of the effort to come up with a solution to this problem, this bill would not have moved out of committee. It is the first time ever that has happened. So I thank you for your strong words. I thank you for everything you have done. We are going to keep you in this fight next year. We are going to figure out a way to do it. I also thank Senator Salazar.
