Last, I want to thank the Senator from Utah. I want to say I have never seen a more patient manager of a bill than the Senator from Utah. This has been a very tough amendment. We have spent most of the day on it. He has been very accommodating to all of the differing views on both side, and has listened patiently. For that reason, I think we have improved this bill. In the future, there is going to be--I hope--a good working relationship, rather than an adversarial relationship, between the regulators and the regulated. That is the purpose of this bill. I think we have achieved it. I ask for the support of all of our colleagues for this improved amendment. I look forward to a strong vote. I yield the floor.
