I think we have made real progress, certainly, on both sides of the aisle. There are a couple of other consultations required, but it would be my hope that before the end of the week we would be able to complete our work on the AGOA bill. This is an important piece of legislation. It has demonstrated its job-building capacity in Africa in particular. We are very hopeful that we can continue that success in the years ahead by reauthorizing this important legislation.
