I want, again, to thank my great friend, Senator Harkin, for the legacy of public health advocacy that he will leave for all of us. I pledge to him that I will carry on, among many others, I am sure, that legacy and advocacy. The Senator mentioned that it is easy to be unhealthy and harder to be healthy.
