I hope the bankruptcy bill will pass--either of them--because they do not belong on the bankruptcy bill. But, first, let me emphasize that President Bush has made it very clear--I am not quoting, I am paraphrasing--no moneys from the Medicare trust fund will be spent on anything other than Medicare. He said that.

I want to remind the committee again, and I will say it to you, Senator Snowe, remember, our package was put together by Democrats and Republicans, so we do not come here starting with one side or the other.
I think you raise a good point. We have to be careful about the issue you raised. It is a serious one.
It would relate in some way to the process that you and I have learned and call reconciliation.
We are fortunate, and we want to make sure you know that what you get, the work product you get, is bipartisan.
