I really want to thank my personal staff, and my trade staff, whether it is Frank Polk, who is always there when you need him, and Grant Aldonas, Faryar Shirzad, Tim Keeler, J.T. Young, and Carrie Clark from the Finance Committee. I also particularly want to thank John Duncan and Dan Bob from my personal office. Dan is really one of our great experts on Asia, and on international politics in general. I owe him so much for his help during these last 2 weeks. Thank you all for a job well done. Let me say it is an honor and pleasure to work with the ranking member.
