Let me just finally state--I know Senator Hollings wants to get back on the floor and continue with S. 4--but finally I would like to say, Mr. President, to my very good friend from Missouri, Chairman Riegle held the hearing record open after the RTC hearing so that any follow-on questions could be asked of him in writing. I am just curious, I wonder if the Senator from Missouri has availed himself of that opportunity? An opportunity that I might add that exists as we speak right now?
