My point is, if he will allow me one more minute, my point is that I think it is unfair to the Senator from Louisiana. I think it is unfair to the people of Louisiana. This ought to get wrapped up. Our point is this: There is no intention to interrupt the business of the Senate, which is now to pass these appropriations bills in the month of September. We have to do that. There is no one out here objecting to the work on those appropriations bill.
