I think if New Jersey's hearing was any indication, there is a strong support out there and commitment for us to do what we are doing, and that is to bring fiscal responsibility. And that is how I like to refer to it. We can call it balanced budget, but I think what we passed today by way of the lockbox legislation and the budget reconciliation bill, and the process that we are in now leading up to a final budget reconciliation bill vote, all is really intended to get us on to a path of fiscal responsibility and accountability. So I sense there was overwhelming support for that. Now, there is no question, and even amongst the majority and amongst all the Members here in this House, there are differences on specific funding levels for specific programs or agencies or departments. I think that is to be expected.
