let me extend my thanks to the Senator from Iowa. As we all know, he has been the real leader on disability issues. We have been able to work together. This is not a partisan issue, as he knows. He has experienced as a family member what disability is all about, and I think that makes us all a little bit more sensitive. So I wish to congratulate the Senator from Iowa for the great work he has done over the years, and it has been my privilege to join with him on many of those occasions. And again, as he said, this transcends partisanship. There is nothing partisan about dealing with these issues, never has been in this body, and I do not expect there ever will.
