I wanted by way of this inquiry to thank the majority leader for visiting the Red River Valley area in my home State, in his home State of North Dakota, but we had contemplated dealing with some emergency regulatory suspension with regards to the Committee on Banking and Financial Services to accommodate the needs of the Red River Valley and the Minnesota River Valley area in both the Dakotas and Minnesota. We were hopeful that the gentleman would consult with the chairman of the Committee on Banking and Financial Services with whom I have consulted and we are trying to do that, and I would hope that it would be possible to bring that measure up on suspension next Tuesday. I note that it was not addressed in the gentleman's outline and I would just want to request the gentleman's attention to that matter and hope that we can work out something along those lines.
