Mr. President, I thank the Senator from Ohio, who is the Presiding Officer. We have been in session for over a half-hour, and I have spoken for only 5 minutes. I just want to reiterate that the solvency of Social Security and its trust fund is indeed of significant national interest. We have had a variety of commissions. We have had a lot of proposals. We have had a lot of meetings. We now need to have the will to act, but the will to act goes in pinpointing solutions and not pointing a finger at someone because of the political party they belong to. Mr. President, I am now going to yield the floor. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Utah.
