I wanted to thank him again for really putting forward this make it in America, sell it to the world. That is what we need to do. You ask any American. They know that is what we need to do to keep this recovery going and really get us out of this recession. I also want to thank the gentleman from Illinois for all of the work that he has done. We've worked closely together since I have been in Congress on manufacturing. And I think the chart he had up here was one of the best reasons why we need this strategy. The government is doing a lot on manufacturing; it's just disjointed. It's oftentimes ad hoc. We need to bring that together. So I thank Mr. Manzullo for his work on that, and that's just a great example. And those who say maybe the government shouldn't be doing anything on manufacturing, we are already doing a lot. Let's get it together and let's do it right.
