Yes, I would, thanks in no small part to you, I say to Senator Hatch, and to Senator Flake, who insisted both last Congress and this Congress that we put everything on the table and invite all stakeholders to come forward and share their concerns. We worked together, we did that, and we found an incredible consensus. In addition to talking with industry, we have gone to think tanks and academic institutions about this bill. Some people with whom we have spoken raised concerns that our bill, as previously drafted, could harm employee mobility. So, Senator Hatch, I don't want to restrict employee mobility, and I don't think you want to either; is that right?
