We will be working on that. I have had other bills that I thought would zip right through, no problem. We have one from the Finance Committee, the FSC issue, which is very important to compliance with the WTO decision. I am concerned now we may not be able to get that cleared. We are trying to get appropriations bills considered by the Senate. We are trying to get an agreement to take up the District of Columbia, and we ran into a problem. I think maybe we are fixing that problem, but I am saying to the Senator at this point it is hard to get clearances. We did get one worked on regarding the water resources development bill, and we are doing other issues. This is a bill we will find a way to get done before this session is over. We will see what happens when we get it together and try to work through it.
