I rise simply to say that we do have a lot of interests in my district in farming and agriculture. We have a lot of interest obviously in the Beltsville Agricultural Research Center, and I want to thank the gentleman from New Mexico for his focus on those concerns and certainly the gentlewoman from Ohio, who does such an extraordinary job on behalf of the agriculture community, not just in Ohio, but throughout this country. I thank both of them for their leadership. Very frankly, it is unfortunate that we do not work together as collegially in every instance as I know these two do and we do on our committee. I might say in closing that I trust that we can get back at some point in time during this process to where we were when we came out of committee.
