“Again, I understand and I appreciate the Senator pointing that out. Mississippi made an agreement, Florida has made an agreement, maybe there will be a couple of other States that make agreements, what if later on we make a global settlement, do they have to go back and renegotiate all the attorney's fees? That is what I wonder. How can we tell a State what they have to do prior to our reaching this national settlement--and whether we reach it or not, I do not know. What would happen, for example, to a State like Mississippi that has already negotiated and make their deals--I guess, I assume they have.”
