I have said to Senator Reid what we normally do with a second-degree amendment is give it a vote. We certainly would like that vote on our amendment. We think it is appropriate. We think it is within the rules. It is a responsible way to dispose of this issue and move on. I hope we get to that vote. We think it is right. It is appropriate. It is within the rules.
