I also want to thank my colleagues who signed on to the resolution recognizing the week of March 20 through March 26 as Small Family Farm Week. It is a recognition that we are giving because, in fact, we are losing small family farms. We are losing the opportunity and way of life that many people have found of value, and I think those of us who are not affected by that do not know what that would mean to our society. We need to be supportive of small family farms. I certainly commend my colleagues who have joined with me in supporting this resolution.

I was about to ask the gentleman if he is suggesting that he would be willing to restate it, all the legal immigrants, plus your provision, if they had some standard? Is that a 5-year standard, a 4-year standard?
