And interestingly, Representative Garamendi, we've been reminded I think by the general public that the legislature, the legislative body here, Congress, took up the bill. They passed it. It went over to the President. He signed it. The highest court in the land, a conservative-leaning court, reviewed it, made their decision and rendered a decision that said it met with constitutionality. People are saying go forward. Move on. Get to the issues that now have got to be resolved, and that is the economy, creating the jobs, producing the post-recession responsiveness that people so much require and deserve, and that's where they're at. We've been joined by Representative Eleanor Holmes Norton who has joined us. Representative, thank you for joining us in the Special Order.
