Is this an area you would look into and help us try to figure out a resolution?
I look forward, again, to working with you and the Committee as to those issues...
Would it be fair, in our conversation we had, that there is some differences...

With my last few seconds, Ray, I just want to say the piece of legislation that Senator Murray is the primary sponsor on, I think some of that, as you read through it, I know you will see some of our efforts from field hearings that we had…
