Thank you, Dr. Kagen. It's wonderful to be here with you tonight, and also with Mr. Ellison. And one of the things, I guess if I could capsulize what we've said tonight and what the majority makers feel more than anything else, that in this country every person matters. Every individual matters, and every individual deserves our attention, our concern, and our action. And that's what we've been doing for 16 months and pledge to be doing for the rest of our tenure in office. So with that, once again, thank you for joining me tonight.
