I associate myself with all the words that were spoken on both sides of the aisle tonight. I am sure you do, too. The main job in front of us is to protect our police officers, and I think that we can resolve differences along those lines if we sit and talk with each other. There is nothing more important than protecting our citizens. I think there is agreement on that. How we do it, well, that is always going to be controversial, but I believe that this is one issue, particularly what has happened over the last couple of years, that makes us either add or subtract from the way we thought about it before. Madam Speaker, I thank my co-chair for yielding. We have got tough decisions to make in the future, but we will make them like we always have, and I thank him for all of his work.
