I hope I live long enough to see it and that we do actually have it. I want to compliment you on your work in this Chamber and also in the various fora. I acknowledge your long years of service; you have fulfilled your duty. Even though we do not agree the whole time and people may have different political priorities, you have really played a great role. Well done for that. I am not going to tell you to enjoy retirement because you have not gone yet. I will tell you that on your last day.
