I appreciate the recollection of the President's quote about not passing along problems to future generations. We had a little more candid quote from the director of OMB the other day, Mr. Daniels, who said, ``We have returned to an era of deficits, but we ought not hyperventilate about this issue.'' Well, I do not see anybody hyperventilating here tonight, but what I have heard tonight from the gentleman from Maryland is a passionate and persuasive case for confronting this budget issue and getting our fiscal house in order, getting back on the right track, so I appreciate very much his contribution to our discussion.
