I say to Senator Whitehouse, I couldn't agree more. I think those are the delicate phases we have to go through. What we have been telling our House colleagues all along is we have worked long and hard on this, we have been more comprehensive than they have, and so we need their patience to work through it with us. There is not a lot of room. I couldn't agree with you more that that is where we are today. I have good relationships in the House. I served there 10 years. Fred Upton, John Shimkus, and Frank Pallone are all willing to work with us. I believe that if we look at what our goal is--to protect the American public and to protect vulnerable populations--we can get this done.
