I know there are others as well. The Boxer amendment I hope we can get up. Senator Shelby and I have worked on a larger amendment to deal with the too-big-to-fail provisions. Again, all of us want to see language, but let me say in the absence of language, we have reached agreement. Obviously we both need to look at the language of it before we can say that categorically. But I am satisfied, as is, I believe, my colleague from Alabama, that we have reached that agreement on the too-big-to-fail provisions which, with the Boxer amendment, takes that issue completely off the table as far as any further debate goes about title I and title II of the bill.
