I am pleased with George's decision. I think it is the best decision for George Mitchell. It may not be the best decision for us or for the people that will be here and need that kind of leadership in the future. I think that is probably what she was expressing, that George's kind of leadership, whether to the Democratic side or Senate as a whole, is invaluable. But from the standpoint of a leader making a decision to use his talents in a variety of other ways, I would say George made the right decision for George Mitchell. He made the right decision for a lot of other people that I am sure will be obvious to a lot of us as time goes on.
