The President issued that directive in August of 2001. He established that date of August 9. The White House has now said that in the case of S. 30, had the stem cells survived from the naturally dead prohibition, they would live. That is not everything the Senator from Iowa would like. I understand and respect that. Acknowledging the nice things you said about the legislation, it is a ray of sunshine in the furtherance of that research. I am grateful to the Senator for the time he has allotted me.
