If I could add one thing while we are having this colloquy in this terrific Special Order, we were all grateful for the opportunity that USIEA gave us. I want to thank--I think we all want to thank--Heather Johnston for her leadership. Thanks to General Krulak for his leadership and their entire team that made this experience possible, that has worked so diligently and so fervently to bring peace to Israel, to put forward the peace process through things like integrated business, to recognize the strong defense ally and partnership that we have with Israel, and that some $3.3 million of U.S. taxpayer funds that we share jointly with Israel in order to lift up their defense system so that we are all safe in this world and, certainly, in this delicate part of the Middle East. So I want to thank those leaders of USIEA and, again, the gentlewoman from Washington for bringing us on this tremendous journey. We hope to share it with many others.
