Can we pause for station identification in the sense that the Senator from Hawaii is really the ring leader, so to speak, in bringing us together in almost a 24-hour period. The Senator has done a great job of pulling our colleagues together. There have been a little more than two dozen Senators who have come to the floor. I thank my friend from Hawaii for his extraordinary leadership on bringing this issue to the floor. He has spoken so eloquently about Hawaii and the impact of the severe weather changes. I am very much looking forward to hearing that now. I do want to say that right after I turned 17 and got my New Jersey driver's license, one of the earliest places where I drove was on a trip to Hawaii--the only trip I had ever taken--and I found it to be an extraordinary State.
