But my hope is, on a serious note, my hope is that the issues we just discussed... we can keep at it today and see if we can't find a way to yes that is reasonable and acceptable to all of us.
Given how important this obviously is, my only regret is that we didn't have an opportunity to talk about it 24 hours ago.
Thank you for your passion, and I would ask that we spend the rest of this day dealing with this.
