I understand that. But I believe that in this case, the entity that has a claim on the deposit insurance, that gets into the payment system, will be the entity that is regulated by the FDIC. Let us be clear in this bill, we are not creating ILCs. ILCs have been in existence for a considerable period of time. They are especially important in the States of California and Utah. I believe we will hear from some of our colleagues from California and Utah who think we are being unduly restrictive toward institutions which they say, experience has shown, play a useful role and do not interfere.
