Let me commend the chairman. I don't think we would be here without Chairman Inhofe's leadership. I have never seen anyone work so diligently and so constructively. We want to thank the staff. They do a remarkable amount of work. Also, we have to recognize our colleagues in the House--Chairman Adam Smith, who did a good job, and Ranking Member Mac Thornberry, whose name is on this bill. I urge passage, and I commend the chairman. Thank you, Mr. President.
