Just for the Senators' information, now the Senate just had a vote on limiting legal fees. That probably is not the only vote that we are going to have on that issue. And the Senator managing the bill, I compliment him for doing a very good job. I might mention, some of us also have statements we would like to make on the bill. We have been on the bill now for a day. This is a very extensive, expensive bill. Some of us wish to speak on the bill. We wish to tell our constituents what is in this bill, maybe why we have some concerns, maybe so we might be able to influence people on how various amendments might go. But I just tell my friend and colleague from Arizona, certainly the idea of going back and forth on amendments is acceptable, I think, for all Senators certainly on this side. But in all likelihood, there will be additional amendments dealing with the issue we just debated.
