How did that go? What's the reception been like from both sides of the aisle? It's been good. I actually brought this up in the last session in the senate. We had 57 votes for [the Prevent Government Shutdown Act]. We need 60 to be able to move it. So we're continuing to do work to be able to add more people to it. I did a three hour hearing with the House of Representatives and their Appropriations Committee led by Chairman Tom Cole, also from Oklahoma. (00:28–00:32)
