I thank the Senator from Connecticut. I am happy to defer to the assistant Democratic leader if he has a question first. I thank the junior Senator from Connecticut for helping lead us into an important discussion. I do have a genuine question. In your colloquy with the senior Senator from Connecticut, I think the question was asked that there is due process for I think what the Senator has been calling the terrorist watch list. I would just ask if the Senator can explain to me what the terrorist watch list is. I am familiar with the terrorist screening database. There is a series of lists that fall from the database, but I don't think there is any such thing as the ``terrorist watch list,'' and I certainly don't understand what due process rights would apply to this list. If the Senator could help clarify that, that would help me. I thank the Senator.
