I thought we tried to emphasize, we are willing to do anything we can the next opportunity we have. We have already stated on the floor that we would urge the assistant administrator to come out. He has talked in his letter about flexibility being available for the State of Nebraska. The EPA contends that there are a number of remedies available. I would certainly urge my colleagues on the Environment and Public Works Committee to work with you and the State of Nebraska to see if there are accommodations that can be made. We can work with you. And based on what we learned from the authorizing committee--the majority and minority--we might put language in the report directing or asking that steps be taken. But, frankly, that is not going to be bill language. But we are willing to work with you and with the ranking member and the chairman of the authorizing committee.
