I have the highest, highest regard for the gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Dingell). It has been an honor to be able to serve with him on the Committee on Commerce, to see his great understanding of the rules and traditions of the House, and to try to, just by watching him, learn from some of that understanding of what we do and how we do it. I am sure he is also aware that we have not had a Republican President for the last 8 years. So how the energy policy of the country is still reflective of that is a surprise to me. But I was also surprised when the Department of Energy could not secure our nuclear codes.
