I would also like to thank Ranking Member Pete Visclosky for our friendship and our working relationship in putting together this Energy and Water bill, which on the water side affects every congressional district. It's important. I think we've done the right thing. And, of course, the reliability of our nuclear stockpile, the issues relating to nonproliferation, but I think we've put together a great bill, and I want to thank you for the leadership and our working relationship. I won't mention my name since you've done it so well, the excellent staff that allows us to move forward in a really nonpartisan, bipartisan way. To the big chairman, thank you, Mr. Rogers, for your support. It's been quite a long haul here on this bill. And I appreciate your loyal support and our working relationship. And to the ranking member, thank you so much, Mr. Dicks, for your support and help and friendship we've had on the Defense Appropriations Committee, along with the ranking member.
