I would like to also express my appreciation for the way in which the gentleman conducted the hearing that we had here in Washington, wherein you brought in experts to show us the great demand that there is for programs and for classes and the shortage that we have of faculty, prepared faculty, in the colleges and universities. And the gentleman responded so quickly to be able to bring that then to our subcommittee, pass it unanimously, and now bring it to the House floor. So this will make all those deans, who came all the way to Washington to testify before us, extremely happy, as it makes me, and I am sure that many of those in higher education are going to be elated that this finally has passed.
