I think we are making a great deal of progress and, hopefully, within the next few minutes we will be able to even make further progress. This is an extremely important piece of legislation. I commend the Members for their attention to it and their recognition that this is something that for every day, almost, in delay, it is setting this measure back further. So I am hopeful we will be able to continue this evening with some progress and tomorrow be able to bring it, as the minority leader said, to completion before 6 o'clock tomorrow evening. I am dedicated to that.
