I rise today to engage the gentleman from Virginia in a colloquy related to something important for Louisville, KY. In 1994 the Federal Aviation Administration advised Congress that they would reimburse the Standiford Field in Louisville, KY, for the airport's costs of installing a category III instrument landing system on runway 35 right. It is my understanding that the FAA has provided about $700,000 out of a total estimated funding of $2.4 million for this system. That leaves approximately $1.7 million remaining to be paid. It is my understanding that those remaining funds are included in the FAA's budget request for fiscal year 1998 and that they are included in the committee's reported bill. Is that the chairman's understanding, as well?

Reclaiming my time, I know our time is about up. So let me start by yielding to the gentleman from Wisconsin (Mr. Ryan) to see if he has any final thoughts or anything he wants to say in conclusion.
