I appreciate that. I was about to explain that I was catching up with what is to be offered beyond that. What was in the bill I was accurate about. What was in the amendment right now I am accurate about, right now with regard to 'associated with.'

I appreciate the fact that the gentleman is going to further perfect the manager's amendment with the Stenholm amendment, but I want to just point out that I think I was accurate, and tried to be accurate. The fact is we have enough differences of opinion that we do not have to argue about that which is factually correct.
