In the book of Jeremiah it talks about justice, and I think the people need justice, but it also talks about righteousness and we have to deal with those. And perhaps there is an opportunity for the Committee on the Judiciary or we would be glad to maybe sometime have a hearing on that issue because I agree with everything the gentleman has said. And I have learned most of this really through Chuck Colson. We cannot just open the gate, allow a man to walk out, and expect him to have the opportunity to make it because he goes back to the same neighborhood, the same environment; and they need training. So as we move along, if we can work with the gentleman and do that.
