I just would like to make a quick response to my colleague. I noted that my colleague from Massachusetts keeps employing the name of Senator Byrd. I assume that Senator Byrd is going to have an opportunity to speak for himself on this. First, let's be very clear. This is all interesting, but it does not at all have anything to do with the Byrd-Hagel resolution. That is No. 1. Two, I am saying--and I think much of what we are talking about on the resolution that legally binding commitments are pretty tough, and we want to understand about those legally binding commitments before anybody gets legally bound, regarding if we are talking about a European bubble, or whatever.
