No. We're talking about something that's very serious business here, and I'm going to keep on this subject. I want the American people to understand what we're trying to do to solve this big problem, Federal, State, and local governments working together. And it's a very impressive effort. I think the people of this community who have been heartbroken and scared, wondering where their meals are coming from, are now seeing--and certainly those that are not seeing will see-- that this is a magnificent response, local, State, and Federal, with an awful lot of credit to the U.S. military who once again have performed admirably. Those who want to dramatically cut the military, they ought to take another look when it comes to being prepared to do things of this nature.
