Enron is being dealt with. No one appreciates what Enron did. It is a disaster for a lot of people, and they are being dealt with. It was really an embarrassment to our country that a corporation and the people that ran Enron acted the way they did, but that happens. That happens. Anyway, getting back to the subject, we are doing everything we possibly can to provide tax relief across the board, provide people that are not paying taxes as much help as we possibly can, and we will continue to do that. But this motion to instruct does more harm to helping families with children and receiving tax credit than it will do good. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
