I thank the gentleman. Again, Tom, we are going to miss you. We have become good friends. Don't become a stranger. You still have another week or two to serve before we sine die, and there are some important votes to cast. Now that you qualify for Medicare, I wish you and Kathy the best in the next part of this journey of life, and I am sure you will do fantastic. Make sure you get out to Idaho when you get an opportunity, and we will take some famous Idaho potatoes and some famous Iowa corn, and we will put them together with some steak and have a little barbecue. I thank you for your service to this institution, to the State of Iowa, and to the country. We will miss you. Madam Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time. ____________________
