I think what we are going to do, as the House has done--I think at this time it is our intention to override the veto of the President. He vetoed 14 of the 15 sections of the farm bill. Through a clerical error, section 3 was left out. As a result of that, section 3 will be sent to us from the House later today, having been passed, and we will see if we can pass that here later today. But we have a good legal precedent going back to a case, I understand, in 1892, when something like this happened before. It is totally constitutional to do what we are planning to do. So no one should be concerned about that.
