Reclaiming my time. In other words, we pass the bill, the Senate passed a different bill which the distinguished chairman thinks has many loopholes, and may have, I haven't read it, and so we are coming back. Here we are, the last week before we adjourn, we haven't passed any of the appropriations bills into law, not one, and we are spending time on this bill when we have already passed it. And if the Senate has not passed it and they want to, they should negotiate with the Senate, they should have a conference committee. Instead, we are passing it again. And I have to assume that the real reason we are doing it is just for political reasons, to rev up the troops of the antiabortion people for the election, and there is no real intent to pass a bill. I have another question. This bill says in the key line: Whoever knowingly transports a minor across a State line with the intent that such minor obtains an abortion, blah, blah shall be fined or imprisoned. My question, sir, and I will yield to you, is what does ``transport'' mean?
