I want to thank the gentleman for his comments. It's clearly an example where now we have across this country States that are impacted by this new device tax. But it does show how this is an industry that is an American success story. It covers all sections of the country, from the Midwest to the west coast to the east coast. And I think the share in part of that view too is someone who is a new leader in Congress as well as in the medical technology industry in California, without a doubt, generates $60 billion for that State's economy. It's huge. Significantly more than any other State, even more than my home State of Minnesota. So the 21st Congressional District is represented by Mr. Valadao, and I yield to the gentleman.
