This section of the bill we are debating from the Committee on Financial Services was a great bipartisan effort. We had testimony from Lee Hamilton, our former colleague, who was praiseworthy of what our committee was able to do in the PATRIOT Act and moving forward and trying to deal with terrorist financing. I think this process has been pretty good. I think that, overall, I understand over 200 Members have been able to offer amendments in the committee process, with regular order in the committee process. Our committee was no exception. I think the product that we have come up with in H.R. 10 is positive.
