I certainly want to thank you, Mr. Chairman, for this outstanding hearing this morning.

I am absolutely committed to the idea, and the potential, of trying to create a unity of will, a unity of spirit, and a unity of understanding, in terms of the whole cooperative sector of our society.

I certainly want to thank you, Mr. Chairman. This has been a very, very informative hearing, and I thank you for it.

I urge the members of this Select Committee to co-sponsor this important legislation and hope to see it passed before the end of the 117th Congress.
