Well, let me just say this, and I say this is something that I have read in the paper today, and I am pretty sure some sort of memo is going to come out on it: when you are in a culture of corruption and cronyism and incompetence, you have to start, I guess, somewhere. Apparently, Federal prosecutors and other investigating bodies here in this Capital City have taken steps to try to help those of us here in Washington, D.C. that need help as it relates to that kind of training. But let me just make this point. Do we need ethics training? I think we need to be reminded of that, because as I said last night, Mr. Speaker, 33 percent of Americans feel that we are doing the right thing here in Washington, D.C. I saw a poll today that said 28 percent of Americans agree with what we are doing.
