I do want to thank the gentleman from New Jersey (Mr. Andrews) not only for his testimony before the Rules Committee yesterday, but also that of Mr. Conaway. With the intent of their legislation, they are trying to streamline the government, save money, produce a better product, and perhaps more importantly, to make sure that the American people have confidence in the money that they are spending that goes for the intended reasons. For that I not only appreciate you, Mr. Chairman, but also the hard work and the thoughtfulness that the gentleman from New Jersey (Mr. Andrews) has put into this. I yield back the balance of my time.
