I will have a few remarks at the close on what has been a difficult day, but very positive in many ways as we have come together and faced the challenges before this body and have been able to conduct very productive and very useful business over the course of the day in spite of a major distraction on the outside that was magnified and illustrated by the fact that three Senate office buildings closed and people do not have access to a lot of the papers in their own offices. In spite of that, we are continuing the Nation's business in a very productive way.
