I have to confess something here: I am an addict. I have been told that our office is one of the 10 top users of CRS.
I think what we need to do is leave behind or allow staff members from the Library of Congress and CRS to travel to these emerging democracies and work with their staffs.
I think this is going to generate another research question for CRS, the question being why can't we use private donations for restoration projects here in the Capitol.
So the question is for Congress to approve it or you can't do the co-location.
What we always forget to do is to help professionalize the legislative branch of government.
I hope that we can use--I mean, the dream here, the idea is, if we are going to move one, let's move all, and let's all be in one place.
So here we are going to take all our staff, and you have got to go through double, triple inspection, but Members can walk in here with a weapon and you don't even know if they have it, to get away with it.
Can you answer that question on the budget neutral, whether it is budget neutral or not?
If we are going to not allow anybody else to have weapons in this Capitol, you certainly shouldn't allow Members to have them.
