Perhaps I should say I say that as one of the descendants of the Stock of Abraham who is privileged to be a Member of the Senate today. I thank Senator Whitehouse. I thank Senator Coburn.
I am going to take the liberty, if I may, to speak for a few minutes while we are waiting for either Senator Murkowski, Senators Webb or Martinez, who are going to read documents before I conclude.
