I think I want to echo comments of my colleague from New York (Mr. Rangel) which I think very vividly express the sentiments of those on this side of the aisle about our commitment to this fight, understanding that there are many aspects to this fight, many fronts to be fought on. Today we are focusing on one of those fronts, and appropriately, in an appropriate manner. But I just hope that my colleagues, in the ensuing debate that will take place on the amendments, will understand that in that process, as we deal with interdiction, which is an incredibly important element of this, we need not to forget demand reduction and we need not to forget about education and treatment.
