I could not agree more with regard to the gentleman from South Carolina (Mr. Spence), as well. One of the really productive things I believe about the style of leadership that the gentleman from South Carolina provides is that he recognizes that in each committee member there is a little bit different area of expertise, whether it happens to be shipbuilding, and I think of the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Bateman), or whether it happens to be munitions and I think of the gentleman from California (Mr. Hunter), or whether it happens to be some other area, there are many members of our committee, and I might say on both sides of the aisle, to which the gentleman from South Carolina (Mr. Spence) is willing to hand the ball at any given time to carry it through his or her area of expertise. I think that is the mark of a real leader, to be able to dispense the job the way the gentleman from South Carolina has been able to.
