No, that is not the point. If the Senator will yield, we are not in disagreement. We are not yet to the CR point. If we get there, I have not yet heard any leader on either side suggest that we not amend it. We hope they could be clean. We hope they could go to the President clean, without amendments. But if we are going to incorporate in them entire appropriations bills that have not yet been debated--and that was my point here with bringing that up; they were in CRs but they were not brought to the floor individually and debated. There was an opportunity--you are not suggesting, you are saying--and it is true--that there was an opportunity at some point in the process for them to be amended.
