Well, I think it's going to be caught up to some extent in it regardless. But I think there is a limit to--I don't think Congress can consider it until they consider the reconciliation. The real issue--it's really almost a technical one--it is at what point in the calendar must a bill be introduced in order to go through all the processes to be considered and voted on by the end of the year. No one thinks it will be considered at the time reconciliation is. The only question is, how quickly do we have to get it in so that it could actually be voted on if we can persuade the Congress to vote on it in this calendar year. That's the issue. And it's almost a mechanical question as much as anything else. But we're going to have a good program. I'm encouraged.
