Yes, if the Senator will allow me to continue to use some of his time, I hope we would agree on this at least: If somebody is not employed because of a mistake that the Federal Government made, that we have a responsibility to make sure that person is made whole; that nobody should lose a job or not get a job because of a mistake made by some Federal bureaucrat. With that in mind, we ought to be able to move forward. I think I heard the Senator from Texas say that is his motivation, that he would want to make sure nobody was harmed economically, not getting a job because of a mistake that the Federal Government made.
