On the recordNovember 5, 1999
That's right. And I am now trying--and also by Executive order--everything I could do without an act of Congress, I believe I have done. So the specific answer to your question is, we've done a lot. There are still some important things to do. And I will do my best. I can't say whether it will be done or not, because some of the things that have to be done require an act of Congress. And the Congress has actually been pretty helpful to me in this since '96, in putting the pieces back together. And I'm doing my best to stop any more family disruption. Ms. Salazar. And you are aware of the disruptions and the problems?
