Very briefly, if I may, I think every time a debt limit extension has come before the Congress, I have voted for it. I believe we have debts and we should pay them. I will likely vote for this one. But there are some people who don't think as I do and they want some time to talk on this. The majority leader has the commitment of Senator Daschle and myself and Senator Conrad that we will work with them to get the debt limit extension passed. We need a little bit of time to do that. Just on a personal note, I have been checking my banking on line every morning to see if my return is back. I am expecting that money to come back soon. It has been 4 weeks now and it is not here. I am a little disappointed.
