Before my two dear friends leave--and perhaps they are not leaving--I would like to have the opportunity to clear the record on a few things. First, my friend from Oklahoma, for whom I have the greatest respect, talked about a number of bills. We know that last time we talked about the energy bill. It got to the floor the same way this bill got here. We know that on the budget resolution the same thing happened, and also on the Patients' Bill of Rights. They got to the floor the same way.
