i had a conversation earlier today with tom donahue, the president of the chamber of commerce. it was so important to his organization that we complete this. the business round-table and organizations all over america understand how important this is. but i want to just mention one more person. i know the night is late. always an unsung hero but really hero among heroes and that's the chairman of the appropriations committee, dan inouye is here behind me tonight. he has been with his staff, tireless staff, working so hard. i applaud his person, charlie hoy, who has a fantastic knowledge of what goes on in this country as it relates to money. he came to the senate in 1983, been here all these years working in the appropriations committee. i'm not going to go through this -- all the staff but it is important to mention that my chief of staff, dave crone, has worked so very, very hard. and i want to mention one other person. i never met him until we started this -- what we have been through, and that's -- i hope i don't get him in trouble -- but that's john boehner's chief of staf
