again, because it is so unclear to people, what we have said is it will not be before December 12. It will not necessarily be on the 12th either but during that week. I think all of our Members--because there are a lot of travel plans that have been made and people are going back to their States and overseas, we are going to have to keep that week flexible, but it would be the intention to come back as late in that week as possible, in large part because we are waiting for the House to catch up--that is the way I think of it in my own mind--to catch up with legislation. I think that we need to keep flexible. My intention is not to bring people back for an entire week. Again, on scheduling, the Democratic leader and I talk about it every day, so we will keep people posted, again recognizing the importance of that time to be spent with constituents, family, and overseas. ____________________
