Madam President, it was not a small role; the Senator from Utah played a gigantic role in making sure we got this done. Working to get the ADA Amendments Act passed 3 years ago--we worked on that for something like 4 years to get it done. We were down at the White House, and it is interesting that the first President Bush signed the first ADA into law and the second President Bush signed the ADA Amendments Act into law. That is an interesting juxtaposition--father and son. I thank the Senator.
