I appreciate Senator Warner raising a couple of issues. The angel investor idea is one that needs to be changed. I know my friend and colleague from Missouri, Kit Bond, has ideas on this as well, and I am going to be getting in touch with him and asking him, along with Senator Warner and others, to work on some language we can add to our bill. I know Senator Corker is working on some ideas as well and, again, we want to be cooperative. A number of my colleagues over here have been submitting amendments, including Ben Cardin and others, Sherrod Brown. I know Senator Sanders has some amendments. We have a lot of ideas that are going to be coming up in the coming days, so we have a lot of work in front of us before we complete action on this bill. Again, I am grateful to Senator Shelby and the other members of the Banking Committee. They have been very helpful over these many months, and we have had long conversations about this. There are a lot of different ideas as to how this all can work, but each and every one of them made a constructive contribution to the process, and I am grateful to them for that.
