let me just briefly end by talking about this is really something the American public wants. It is something that we have with the Shays-Meehan bill. We have a bipartisan bill. All you have to do when you talk about influences, all you have to do is look at what has happened to the tobacco bill.

The Shays-Meehan is our best chance.
