Senator Lott, if you would yield for just a second, I thank you for your friendship and your leadership. I am glad to see you back in the majority. I know you will make good use of it. I will miss not being here to help you, but I will be rooting for you on the outside, as you know. You did mention family. I think it is important for all of us to reflect and understand, without my wife Mary Jo and my daughter, Jennifer, and my sons, Bobby and Jason--without their support over the years, it would not have been possible. You know how difficult this job is, living in a fishbowl. We all have our families to thank, so I want to pay a special tribute to my family for supporting me all these years and loving me and still loving me after all of this. I thank you again, leader, for your remarks.
