I would say to my colleague that I asked the chairman of the Finance Committee: How quickly do you think we could do this? He gave me the same answer he just gave you: Yes, as soon as we can, but it is hard to make a commitment about a tax bill coming to the floor. As I also told the senior Senator from Louisiana, there are some other reasons we have to act quite quickly next year in dealing with some technical fixes to other aspects of the tax bill. So there are other reasons to act quickly as well as this particular situation.
