I will simply say to the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Foster) that I recognize and appreciate him. He is a smart, thoughtful, and well-motivated member of the Science, Space, and Technology Committee, so I am really sorry he opposes this national interest standard that, I think, is the right thing to do for America and for the American taxpayers. I yield the balance of my time to the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Lipinski), who is a very active and talented member of the Science, Space, and Technology Committee.
