To build on Senator Webb, this is a good hearing, and I was thinking, we will come in here--I have learned a lot.
My State just passed a voter ID law, and I want to congratulate the legislature in South Carolina.
But, I mean, let me talk about the Kiawah Island Resort, they're hosting the PGA, and please come, everybody, in August 2011.
