Well, I am very happy that you're proud of me. Mr. Speaker, I am very happy that she's proud of me. Mr. Speaker, I do want to clarify something, and the question that Mrs. Emerson asked is a very legitimate question: Why are we doing this the way we're doing it? Simply because we have not been able to get the other body, if I'm allowed to refer to them, to accept anything other than these kinds of bills at this point. And in answer to her second question, Which bill will we give the Senate, the one that we passed, or the one hopefully we'll pass today, the answer is, whichever one they'll take to deal with the issue. So that is really the problem here. Hopefully it will be resolved very soon. I reserve the balance of my time.
