I apologize for being a little late to enter into this dialogue, because it was probably one of the most important weekends that I spent in my lifetime. I, too, want to thank Faith in Politics for what they did. I particularly also want to thank the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. John Lewis) for reliving a time in his life that had to be one of difficulty but one that also shaped who he is and what he brings to this Congress today. So, John, I appreciate that. I also give thanks to the gentleman from Alabama (Mr. Earl Hilliard), as somebody who still lives there, represents that area, and still has to live with the consequences, sometimes, for the time spent. We appreciate the participation that you gave us and the bringing of people together.
