With all due respect, I think there are frequently moments when the administration overrides the opinion of the Congress or don't always agree and the administration gets their way. Take the decision the administration made this morning on…

If my good colleague could guarantee me he could give me the votes on the floor, I would be happy to bring a bill like that forward to Congress. Mr. Chair, I yield 1 minute to my colleague from California (Mr. Lowenthal).

Now we are in this, and we want to take advantage of the economic opportunity.

I am thrilled that you are going to be there because I think you will have an opportunity to see what a wonderful area it is.
