I would be happy to do so. I know we have a vote in 5 minutes, and I want the distinguished Senator from Illinois to have an opportunity to speak. Mr. McCAIN. These questions are for either Senator.

Also, how do you respond to the argument being put forward that this could destroy the world's financial system if this legislation would be put into effect?
