I appreciate the information from the gentleman. I noticed in the initial remarks that several conference reports were mentioned that would be coming up including FAA and DOD and military construction and energy and water. Certainly, those are important matters. But in looking at that list, I would note that many of those things have not been brought forward yet because we have not been scheduling Friday and Monday. Secondly, I would note that in that list, from what I am reading, that neither the Medicare prescription drug legislation nor the tax credit legislation is on that list. But could Members be told which one of those two are most likely to come to the floor? Is there a possibility of the Medicare prescription drug legislation coming to the floor and is there a possibility of the child tax credit legislation coming to the floor?
