if the distinguished leader will yield for a brief comment, as I said to Senator Domenici this afternoon, this scenario that has been set up is going to create some very interesting votes because if we move down the road where we come to a McCain cloture vote, if cloture is invoked, then Daschle and Domenici fall. At least that is my understanding. If that is the case, then that part of the Energy bill would be gone. But anyway, that sets up some interesting dynamics here. We do at least have out here, in addition to the FSC legislation, pieces of the original Energy bill. Who knows, we might wind up doing something on energy.
