He has worked on this OSP liability thing with us ad infinitum and added matters to this bill that made this a much better bill and strengthened the bill. I just could not feel better about somebody on my committee working on this bill than I do toward Senator Ashcroft. I just wanted to say he played a significant role in this legislation. I personally thank him.
