I say to my friend, if we spent 3 more days on this bill, that means we would have to dispose of 100 amendments a day. If we spent 4 days on it, we would have to dispose of 75 amendments a day. So these managers have done excellent work, and we know we can't get through all these amendments, but there are a lot we need to get through. It is important, and we will cooperate on this side in every way we can, and I am confident the minority will also.
