I would just like to close out this hour by saying all those who came forward this evening we appreciate so much because you represent different areas of the country, and we hope this word can get out across the country that we're ready to move forward. And I do hope that we can follow through on our plans to go over the media to present the case. So I'm going to request that all Members who have stories such as the ones I read, submit them to Congressman Conyer's office so we can compile these and be sure that we've referenced them as we move closer to accessible health care for all Americans. And with that, I would like to close out this hour, reserve the balance of our time for another evening.
