If the Senator would vote for us to go forward with the bill tomorrow when we have a cloture vote, we will have a lot of time to debate this. We can amend it and go forward with this debate. So I hope he will join us in voting for cloture because I do have a lot of evidence to justify the various provisions in the bill. The bottom line is we all know that today it costs around $900 million to bring a single new drug to the market. I am not here to defend the pharmaceutical companies or any other company.
