I would echo that. And I am glad we changed the rules, by the way, that one can mention that body instead of referring to it as, quote, the other body. In any event, this is meaningful legislation that we indeed want to pursue in the other body so that we can get this to the President. It has an enormous upside and potential for communities. Governor Voinovich, when he was Governor before becoming Senator, had a commission which he commissioned in Ohio to study the loss of greenfields in the Buckeye State. One of the things that that commission found was that we could start the flow of that use of very productive farmland in Ohio by better cleaning up brownfields and putting them back to use. So this bill is basically in that vein, and we think that this will go a long way in that effort.
