I appreciate that. We stand ready to continue this work in good faith, which it has been from the beginning. Obviously, President Trump negotiated this deal, but his trade representative, Ambassador Lighthizer, has done yeoman's work, working tirelessly with all of us in Congress--Republican, Democrat, House, Senate--to work through the final details that we all had. A trade deal is always complicated. It always has pieces that some like more than others. Ultimately, when it is better for the country than the current deal we are in with NAFTA, I think there is broad agreement that we finally got there, so hopefully we can get that completed next week and then start yielding the economic benefits. If the gentleman had something else, I will yield.
