I certainly think that is a reasonable period of time, particularly in these extraordinary circumstances. I think we would see State election officials not only eager to help reconstitute the House but also encouraging the quick movement in the process of the selection of candidates and the preparation of ballots. Those ballots would then be mailed to military personnel and personnel overseas. And those individuals serving, as the gentleman from Missouri (Mr. Skelton) said, particularly those in the military serving at the point of the spear, would have the time that they would appropriately need to have to respond to this process.
