I think it was rather humorous. It was rather humorous. The forms are not available because they had 21 days of bad weather and shutdown. The forms had to be printed long before the shutdown and long before the bad weather if, as a matter of fact, they were going to meet their deadline. So you have all of these students and parents and schools up in arms because they did not have the free forms to fill out in order to apply for the loans. Now these are the same people, keep in mind, who are also now going to manage direct lending. They could not seem to manage the lending that would be taken care of by the private sector if they just get the forms finished in time. But they are now also, and the President would have his way, they will manage 100 percent of all of the loan. So you know this excuse when summer comes, I hope they forget about the bad weather as an excuse, and hopefully they will not have another shutdown so they cannot use that as an excuse, and they will really have to do the job.

just for 2 seconds I wish to indicate to the gentlewoman that I know it is not the President offering the amendment, but she missed my point. For 20 years I sat here trying to get her side to do something about it and they did nothing.
