So hats off to the President for doing that, hats off to my Democratic colleagues who crossed the aisle to help us in some of this. And I know that was difficult for them to do in some cases. The remaining area that remains to be funded is Homeland Security. That's pretty important. It's not a huge part of the budget. It's about 5% of all federal spending. But it covers some pretty important areas, some of which are already taken care of. (04:21–04:27)
