let me add my hope that we can resolve the problem. I know there are a number of projects, including the Presidio, that I support, and hopefully this will--now and then we get things resolved around here. Maybe we can do this in the next few days. But we would like to in the interim, if we could, do the line-item veto and the farm bill conference report. That will give us some time, if there is any negotiating opportunities, to do that. It is also my hope that we can have a time agreement on the line-item veto. I understand that the distinguished Senator from West Virginia, Senator Byrd, would like us to at least proceed and then perhaps enter into a time agreement a bit later.
