I think, considering the great bulk of things the committees had to do--and, you know, we had an agreement for the first time that told them they had to do certain things; before it was a very vague instruction--I think they did fairly well. I mean, I think we can count on the fingers of our hands--probably even if we did not have all five fingers, we could even on less than five--the areas that they did not comply with. I think they are going to work with us to try to get those done. Obviously, there is one that is difficult that has to do with the radio and television spectrum. That is a little more difficult. The administration told us we could get a lot of money and, if we did not go that far, it would not last. It turns out it is very hard to do that. But we are working on that, in a bipartisan fashion also.
