I know we have a little shift taking place, but I thank Senator Inhofe for his staunch national security support and certainly support of this legislation. I appreciate his comments, and I think we are going to have a successful day today in doing something that is important. I think you know the administration has tried to work with the U.N. Security Council to get them to impose sanctions, as you would think they would wish to do. China has been the holdup there. You would think as a next-door neighbor they would be most apt to want sanctions and other actions to be put in place to push back against North Korea. This is something that is important that we are doing in a proactive way, and hopefully it will spur other actions down the road.
