well, I anticipate there will be a few people who are going to vote for it before they vote against it, in this case. What this is, is this is actually my title 42 bill, except with one little tweak in it. It takes it out of Byrd compliance. So this allows any individual to be able to vote for this one but actually oppose the one that would have actually implemented the policy that was actually Byrd-compliant. This is the reason people get so angry at Washington, DC, because people will say: Oh, I didn't really mean to do that; I meant to do this. Here is my concern. I think anyone should ask everyone, if they voted one way one time and one way another, what is different on this, because here is what I think happens next. What I think is about to happen is, someone is going to stand and they are going to call a point of order on this and to say this is not compliant with the Byrd rule. And people are going to say: I tried to get it done, but that Parliamentarian just knocked it down. So that is what I bet happens next. We will see. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Senator's time has expired. The Democratic whip. Point of Order
