On the recordMarch 19, 1997
I will just tell my colleague, I have been charged with the responsibility of trying to make sure that we are ready to do that. It is my hope and expectation that we will be ready to do that--not tie this down to a particular timetable--but I hope that we will be able to do it in the not-too-distant future. Maybe we will be able to meet the timeframe as suggested by my colleague from Illinois. I am not ready to give a date. But you are saying for this year. I hope that will be the case.
