Let me just read to the gentleman a statement by Ari Fleischer today on this issue. The question to him was: Republicans and Democrats believe that the deal struck between Mr. Norwood and the President would abrogate State laws on patients' bill of rights. Is that the White House understanding? Here is what Mr. Fleischer said: Yes. Yes. And I think you can get into a good discussion of that at the background. Question: So he doesn't believe that it would not abrogate State laws? Fleischer: There are a certain series of preemptions in there. Does the gentleman agree with Mr. Fleischer's assessment there?
