I would ask the gentleman one other question. On section 5, as we have talked earlier today, subsection 2 says, ``No compensation is made under this act with regard to damage to specific property, other than the property whose use is limited.'' We have debated that language here in other contexts, but I wanted to make it clear, Mr. Chairman, that this was not a wide exemption for all kinds of different arguments to be made by the agency that there is some specific property benefited, is that correct?
