I thank the Senator as always for his cooperation. This is an important schedule. We know we have to finish the work on terrorism insurance. We know we have to deal with the Defense authorization bill. The Senator from Virginia and the Senator from Michigan have been ready to go for a couple of weeks. It should be a good debate. I also agree with the distinguished Republican leader that this should not be the grab bag, this should not be the vehicle that attracts extraneous legislation. Let's get it done and done cleanly and move on to other matters that are important as well.
