I am disappointed, after so many efforts on our part to get a vote, that we couldn't. On the other hand, I indicated I was heartened that today at least there seems to be a willingness to begin to give people votes on issues relating to the lockbox. I want to have the votes. There is a clear distinction between the lockbox we have authored together and we want to have an opportunity for that stronger lockbox to be considered. I want it done soon. It ought to be done on a vehicle that becomes a law.
