that article is about this legislation. Listen to the last sentence of this article. This is not from some wild-eyed radical liberal publication. This is from Business Week. Overreliance on cost-benefit analysis could make things worse for business, workers, and the environment. I think we ought to be going back to the bill by our colleague from Delaware, Senator Roth. I think that has balance. I think this bill does not have balance. This bill is going to end up in endless litigation. I know my colleague from Louisiana is sincere, as is the majority leader. But I think it is moving in the wrong direction. I am pleased to yield to my colleague from Louisiana for a question.
