the minority leader, the gentleman from Missouri (Mr. Gephardt) has indicated they need some more time in the Russian Duma and the Russian administration to meet some of the requests that we are making with regard to this measure. Let me ask the gentleman in a colloquy, if we were to pass, and I hope we will pass, this measure today, it then goes to the President. The President has 10 days in which to act. In the time he acts, if he does veto it, as he says he may do, it comes back, we are talking at least 3 weeks, are we not, before the measure comes back before the House?
