And the gentleman from Iowa. incidentally. is a very wonderful friend and a great colleague and a guy who really has been working this energy issue with great energy and was a wonderful host to those of us who spent our time in Iowa in that Presidential race. including those of us like myself who had rather shortlived campaigns. The gentleman from Iowa was always there. always gracious. always willing to put a group together. and helped to create that great forum that is Iowa politics. I want to thank the gentleman. And I want to thank him. also. for his great help on the border fence. a very important issue. And he helped to push this bill that we finally got passed in 2006. We got a mandate to build 854 miles of doubleborder fence. got watered down a little bit by the other body. but were still constructing.
