I simply want to add my voice to that of the gentleman and the gentlewoman in terms of raising the issue, as well as bringing to our attention the importance of fatherhood, especially as we approach Father's Day. It just happens that in my Congressional district come Saturday we have a full day of activity that is designed to do nothing but promote responsible fatherhood, beginning early in the morning and going all day. It is a wonderful activity. Many of the individuals we find are looking for ways to reconnect with families, to reestablish relationships with their children. They simply need a little facilitation and a little bit of help. I think this kind of discussion, this kind of initiative, and this kind of action will go a long ways toward that.
