Mr. Speaker, I rise to extend my gratitude to the Congressman from Oklahoma for teaching me how to say ``Miami.'' I have been mispronouncing ``Miami'' all through my short presentation. I also want to thank him for his leadership and being so responsive. I think that there are perhaps many other laws on the books that we should look at in a very simple way to revoke the charters, as necessary. I would also like to offer my help to the Congressman from Miami with our two Virginia Senators. It sounds like, if it passed this House with only one negative vote last year, that perhaps the Senate is the place where this is being held up. If we can provide some support to him in his moving this through the Senate side, I would be delighted to do that.
