Let me say, I think the Senator's comments are accurate in that because the CR terminates on September 30, then because it terminates, the CR, this language might go away. But the clear language here is not a--and I think that is the point the Senator from California made--is not a time-certain extension for the EPA to do something. It is: No funds, no farms. And I think there is a reasonable concern--that certainly I have--that this will not just be a deliberate delay of several months, but this is the intent to stop this law indefinitely, as this language was drafted.
