Let me just quickly add that our colleague and friend to both of us, Mr. Rohrabacher, has long been an advocate for the detection and monitoring of near-Earth objects. I don't know that anybody has done any more on that. I certainly commend this constructive amendment.

I just quickly yield myself the balance of my time to say this truly has been a collaborative, bipartisan effort. I thank Mr. Hall and his very able staff. We have worked together. We have a good bill, and we need to pass this bill.
What is silly is pretending to be a fiscal conservative while you are continuing to waste the taxpayers' dollars talking about an amendment that has been accepted. That is what is silly.
Once again I want to thank the majority and minority members of the Science and Technology Committee for working together on this collaborative good effort. To my friend, my passionate friend from Illinois, let me say, just as he knows…
I think it is good that we have come to this point. It was unsustainable what we were doing.
