Well, as the gentleman knows, he and I spent--what was it--27\1/2\ hours in a committee markup 2 weeks ago getting us to this point. So the gentleman from Texas thanks the gentleman from Georgia for his part and his participation. That was a very long markup, but he stayed attentive and asked good questions and offered good insights all the way to the end. We were very fortunate to have him on the committee. I have been on the committee a few more years, but it was certainly one of the nights on that committee that I will long remember. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman.
