I think that if the package he was talking about that was this job creation package is the one that gave $250 million back to Enron retroactively, then I think the public will understand why that is something that was unacceptable in a bipartisan way in this body. I hope that we will be able to find bipartisan relief for those who have been caught in this recession, and the very least that we can do before we go off on a 13-day break is to complete action on 13 weeks of extended benefits for the workers, as the other body has done. I urge the majority to consider doing that next week before we leave.
