My view is, based on what our knowledge is, that if the Miller amendment passes, that we have only 21 States that have performance standards in place and we have no States that have their final assessments in place, and that means that no States will get education flexibility. That is the problem. It is also true that in the year 2000 and 2001 all these things will be done under ESEA. I do not know how that can be repudiated. That is a fact, not a wandering statement.
