Thank you so very much. I just thought of something that I did want to add to the discussion. First of all, GE is an inherently American company, so I applaud the selection that allows a creator to move forward to create jobs for all of America. But I want to keep in mind that manufacturing is the employer of all people--women, persons with college educations, those that are in the trades, men, and young people. So families can be hired by manufacturing. And it is particularly important to me that women have the equal opportunity, particularly since we passed the pay equity bill in the last Congress. But, finally, I also look forward to small and medium minority women- owned businesses partnering with large businesses to create jobs because small businesses and minority-owned businesses can create jobs and are part of the infrastructure of jobs. So if the President speaks tomorrow, I hope he speaks for all of America, that all will have an opportunity to retrieve the dream by the opportunity to make it in America. I thank the gentleman for having us this evening.
