I hope we can do. It will have almost insignificant consequence, but will be significant to the disaster's victims. One deals with the question of the use of IRAs by victims of the disaster who now find themselves with a need to invest in their home to repair it, but they do not have any money except that which is in an IRA, or the need to invest in a business that has been destroyed, and they have no resources except that which is in an IRA. I hope with the chairman that we can find a way to provide that opportunity. I am happy to provide a reasonable limit on it. I offer the amendment and hope we can visit about it in the ensuing hours prior to this bill's conclusion.
