Quite honestly, I'm pretty proud of that. We should all be proud of that. Our staffs ought to be proud of that. Just last week in our markup we addressed the problem of government shutdowns and Senator Lankford, Senator Hassan, I know Senator Portman, Senator Paul had other bills, but we passed a bill to end government shutdown. Hopefully the rest of the Senate will pick that up. Hopefully the House will pass that and we'll never have to have another shutdown again. (09:44–10:00)
