I want to remind everybody of a little bit of history. I am sure all of my colleagues remember the great bill on community health centers which we have not been able to reauthorize for a year. At the end of last year it came up for reauthorization on the suspension calendar and, at the last minute, they attempted to add this piece of legislation to it, but there was such an outcry that they were forced to pull it off. So this year we are going back the other way around. This bill has to be dealt with before all of the community health centers in the United States can get their due from the Congress. That, sir, is a tragedy.
