Wade, but I do not believe that that decision covers the case of a partially born child. This is different in that regard.

On the question of timing, it would be the intention of the committee to bring this back to the floor for a vote on overriding the veto sometime next year before the conclusion of this Congress. We do not have a date established for action.
