Again, Mr. McCollum, I want to commend you for the parts of the bill that you did pass. I also want to point out that we had an opportunity, since the gentleman from Ohio mentioned demand, to require drug testing for all Federal employees. If I recall, the gentleman from Ohio did not support that. I must say that I wanted to see the drug testing, too, but this is a very excellent bill, and we very, very much want to see this bill pass. It will make a big difference in the War on Drugs and make a War on Drugs, and I thank all the supporters.
