I want to thank everybody, particularly the officials. I think you brought a lot of clarity to issues that were important. I do want to thank the committee for staying an extra 11 minutes. I think it's important that we finished this bill. It was going to throw the rest of the schedule out.

Those who have other meetings, go to it.

That said, the meeting is adjourned.
