Chairman INOUYE: Colonel North, we are just about finished. Do you have any final statement to make, sir?

Mr. NORTH: A very brief one, sir.

Chairman INOUYE: Please proceed.

Mr. NORTH: I would simply like to thank the American people who have responded with their good wishes, their support, their prayers through what has been for me and my family a long and difficult ordeal. I thank them for that, and I salute them. That is my statement, sir.
