If I may put it in question form. He might know that in the summer of 1992, President Bush visited Riverside and was making a point that it seemed to be working and is catching on. I rushed to the floor with a photograph of President Reagan signing the Family Support Act and shaking hands with then-Governor Clinton, who was head of the Governors Association at that time. He and the Governor of Delaware, now our colleague in the House, worked together on a bipartisan basis. I just wish that we would be conscious of this. I do not ask the Senator to agree. But I am saying we have something working, and we may miss it.
