first, I thank our colleague from Illinois for his predictable eloquence. He is not a member of the Banking Committee, but I began to think he was listening to him talk. He has a wonderful awareness and knowledge of the legislation, and I appreciate that very much. It is a complicated area of law. The fact that he has spent as much time analyzing what is in the bill and the important work that has been done over the many months we have been involved in this debate is something I appreciate very much. I thank him. I know my friend from Kentucky is here as well. I will not take long, I say to Senator Bunning. I am one who is supportive of the Boxer amendment. It is straightforward. The Senator from Illinois read the amendment. What I think is important is in the very first line it says, ``At the end of title II, add the following.'' That is the resolution title. As the Senator from Illinois said, this is not a sense-of-the-Senate resolution. Title II of the resolution title is a title the Presiding Officer, Senator Warner of Virginia, and Senator Corker of Tennessee were the principal authors of on a bipartisan basis in November or December.
