I compliment the Senator on the presentation that he is making and on his charts. It is amazing, when one contemplates that, if one were to count a trillion dollars at the rate of $1 per second, it would require 32,000 years to count a trillion dollars. It is pretty amazing. The Senator and his charts point to the road that we are traveling. I thank the Senator for his fine statement. He has been a student of this matter for many years and on his committee, the Joint Economic Committee, I believe it is, he has accumulated a tremendous amount of knowledge in this respect. I thank him for his presentation. I hope that Senators who are not here will take the time to read it in tomorrow's Record. I thank the Senator for yielding.
