You just hit on the word ``compromise.'' I think there are many of us that are looking to compromise. I was disturbed--and I am curious to hear the thoughts of my colleague from Arizona as well about this--when we were sitting in committee and had a witness in front of us who characterized the Dodd- Frank Act as a compromise bill, it struck me that I guess maybe he is right. It was a compromise between Senator Dodd and Congressman Frank at the time, both Democrats, who didn't bother to get any input from the Republicans. As you pointed out, Mr. Chairman, you actually had a bill. A compromise would have been to take parts of your bill and parts of their bills and marry them together. This isn't what happened, though, is it? {time} 2030
