I might just express my disappointment to the gentleman from New York (Mr. Rangel), because over the last few days I had given him a number of provisions that I thought other Members of this body, Democratic Members particularly, would find helpful in terms of this tax bill, so perhaps we could have voted for it. But, then I found, after the gentleman had received all of these tax proposals that I had, that well, he was not allowed to go into the conference or allowed to go into the meetings. So I am sorry that I burdened the gentleman with that information, because it is pretty obvious that the gentleman was shut out. So I just want to make this effort to thank him for his effort.
