To correct one thing that the gentleman from North Carolina (Mr. Hefner) said I think in interpreting my remarks, my comment about the leadership agreement applied to the agreement that we reached last year. There was an attempt made to reach an agreement this year on the issue of the COLA. Since it was not reached, we agreed to put in the prohibition. There was no other agreement beyond that about what would or would not be said this year by anybody on the other side.
