We are not opposing voluntary plans. We are not opposing States setting up plans that will encourage retirement. We are not opposing that. We are just saying we want to make sure they are protected under the same requirements of ERISA that all other plans are. We want to make sure that those dollars are there when the people need them. That is all we are saying. We are not opposed to voluntary or plans for retirement. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Roskam), my colleague and good friend, the chairman of the Ways and Means Subcommittee on Tax Policy.
