Mr. President, the feeling is mutual. I made my comments earlier, so I won't go into the substance of the bill. Senator Thune has certainly been a delight to work with, as was his committee staff. I wish to personally thank our staff: Tom Chapman, Jenny Solomon, Chris Day, Mohsin Syed, Melissa Alvarado, Laura Ponto, Dan Hurd, Renae Black, Maria Stratienko, Nick Russell, Christian Fjeld, Brian No, Peder Magee, Meeran Ahn, Brad Torppey, and our staff director Kim Lipsky. I also wish to thank the Democratic staff here on the floor--they make this place run day in and day out--Gary Myrick, Tim Mitchell, Trisha Engle, Dan Tinsley, and all the cloakroom staff. I thank the Senate for responding so affirmatively to this FAA bill. Now let's get the House to understand the importance of this bill so we can get it into law. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from South Dakota. Amendment No. 3799
