I would just like to remind the gentleman from Colorado that, when the Democrats were in charge of Congress, they went on--I will use his word--vacation 4 years in a row without passing a single budget, not a single budget. We have passed a budget every year, and I believe we are going to pass a budget this year, just as a reminder to the gentleman of what happened. I think he wants to have it both ways again, and I would just like to remind him, Mr. Speaker. I yield 5 minutes to the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Rothfus), who listened to his constituents to deal with an issue that is very important to him. I will let him address it.
