I would say to that give me a physical break. The President of the United States vetoed both of those pieces of legislation that would bring about fairness for small business owners and allowed them to keep their business and not give it to the government and also allow married couples to get some relief and not penalize them for being married. But be that it as it may, H.R. 2614, Mr. Speaker, is a good piece of legislation. It has Medicare adjustments for rural hospitals, for home health agencies. There is the pension reform that allows people to save more money for themselves for retirement; that is good for working people, for housewives. My wife stays at home. She is a housewife. She can save more money. Brownfields relief, the American Community Renewal Act, in which the gentleman from Missouri (Mr. Talent), myself, the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Davis) have worked very hard on to target underserved communities, poor communities, rural communities for economic development, for homeownership, for opportunity in these underserved communities. This has the black farmers piece of legislation. The USDA discriminated against black farmers, and these farmers got a settlement.
