I thank my colleagues for a productive afternoon. We certainly improved the Senate Energy bill with a variety of amendments--the lands package specifically but other amendments as well, such as the energy savings by our colleagues, Senator Isakson and Senator Bennet. I am very glad we are where we are today, and hopefully we will have this wrapped up very early tomorrow. I thank all our colleagues for their cooperation. I again thank the staff for getting us to this point today.
