That is very good. I know we are running out of time. I do want to thank you, Congresswoman Sutton and Congresswoman Kaptur, for your leadership in this role, and I really appreciate the hard work that everyone is doing on this issue, especially our freshman class. As Ms. Kaptur had mentioned, the freshman class has really come forward and really taken on this issue, taken an interest in this issue, I think primarily because you just came off the campaign trail. You heard what people were talking about out there. It is important for Members who have been here for a while to listen to you as freshman Members because you definitely have a lot to talk about when it comes to this trade issue. We have seen it firsthand. As I mentioned earlier, I worked at the mill for over 28 years, and I have seen firsthand what NAFTA has done to my town, my community, to individuals who worked in the mill. So I want to thank each and every one of you for taking an interest in this very important issue.

I think that is so important in a job like this one which is really about administration and about problem-solving and about getting things done on behalf of our veterans.
