Thank you, sir. Let me just say thank you to everyone. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time in the House. To my delegation members, there is no better delegation in America to serve with than all of you. I thought I would get a standing ovation for that one, but obviously not. I will say this, though, that one of the things that I've learned in this House is that there is a way to disagree without being disagreeable. And Jim Clyburn, you've helped me to understand that. To my guys here, I will say without any question that being a part of the team is important. And when I think about our country, I think of our country as a team. And as a kid coming from a single-parent household looking for opportunities, I found that in my team at home and my mentor. And now as I head to the Senate, I hope that we will continue to be a team. But America needs us to remember them. So thank you all so very much for this opportunity.
