Thank you all very much. It is a joyful day. I resented when Senator Daschle came over and told me he was only about 50, reminding me of his youth. Then Senator Strom Thurmond welcomed me into his range of age. I don't know quite what that meant. Actually, in spite of all the things we have working, it has been a great day. Actually, I enjoy every day here and I appreciate the friendship of all of you on both sides of the aisle.
