I feel like Churchill up here when I hear the 52 to 2 vote. Mr. Speaker, I do want to say, one of the things that the gentlewoman from New York (Mrs. Kelly) mentioned was the impact on, in particular, rural communities, where we have such trouble keeping deposits in the community because of the ability to go get higher returns outside.

I regret that this idea only came to me late in the process, but I would hope that the conference committee would at least consider that in their deliberations.
