I appreciate my good from Miami, Florida yielding to me. The funny part watching the debate today was that the other side, because they had the opportunity for so long to pass so many of these pieces of legislation and to get them through the Senate and get them signed by the President and they didn't take advantage of it, that they have very little credibility in dealing with the issue of the fact that we are actually doing this stuff. And so I agree with my friend Mr. Meek; it has been exciting. This is great. This is good stuff. You guys are reading the increases and the different programs. And, as Mr. Obey said, this is a thinking man's document.
