I actually share the expressions of some of the panelists who talk about why they think STELAR should expire.

I appreciate that, and, again, we will be watching and, hopefully, see that they become more fair as we get into that appropriations process. Finally, I would like to ask the gentleman about legislation that has been filed that is a…

Clearly, the Senate looked at that as well and worked through that. They actually made some changes to the bill which we conformed into this. The discharge petition has a rule that will actually conform it to the Senate to address those…
