Let me tell you. Mr. Norwood, I know we are closing down in another 5 or 6 minutes and will be ready to yield back the balance of our time, but I could not agree more. We have gotten to a point in this country where too many times those people, and you are right about the dentists in eastern North Carolina. Most of the dentists in North Carolina, but particularly eastern North Carolina, these are hard working, family people. they are not multimillionaires, they are not millionaires; they are just people working hard to provide a very valuable service, trying to take care of the people in their community. Yet, as you said, too many times the Federal Government, whether it be DOD or another agency that you were just talking about, comes down with a heavy hand or club, as you said, and as long as there are people like you and I and many on both sides of the aisle up here in Congress, we are going to fight for that man, that woman, in our district that we feel has not been treated fairly.
