Let me ask a final question. The Senator is aware that the State of Florida, for example, in this highway bill, will wind up getting $3,138,589,000, which is a growth rate of some 40 percent, and that the fiscal year 2003 number the people of Florida got for a return on the dollar they put in was the minimum, 90.5 cents. At the end of this bill, Florida will go to 95 percent; that is, they will get 95 cents back for every dollar. I think the Senator would acknowledge that is an improvement over the last bill for the State of Florida.
