we tried and we will continue trying. As many people who get up and propose that UC, I will be there, whenever it is. I want it passed as badly as the Senator from Illinois does because I also have people in Kentucky who have the same problems as his people do in Illinois. All the States that are represented by two Senators do as well, but let's do it and pay for it because the money is available in many areas. The money was available for the Grassley- Baucus bill, which extended things for a year, in some cases, and extended these provisions I am talking about and the Senator from Illinois is talking about for a full 3 months. We would not be in this position if the Senator from Nevada had allowed that bill to come to the floor. Thank you. I yield the floor.
