To be serious for a moment, I want to acknowledge both of you for participating. I would add that those who are watching should understand that this is an effort by both Republicans and Democrats for a tremendous cause. The men and women who serve in the Capitol Police, as well as the men and women who serve in this Congress, some of whom are behind us right now, are dedicated professionals. They do an extraordinary job. It is difficult. In the case of those two Capitol Police who were killed, what we can do for their family is something that we all participate in, and we owe a debt of gratitude to them. Great job.
