All right. So, now, if I understand it from the Senator's speech and also Senator Simon's speech, the Senator's idea is that this would be an experiment, in effect a pilot program for a period of time in which you would determine how it would work, and from it, State courts could use the experience. State could learn from that experience? And, of course, Congress could look at the same thing and learn from the experiences that might be contained therein; is that correct?
