If you look at page 122, the exact point is made that you are making. It says that there is at least one such health care plan that provides coverage of services described in clauses i and ii of subparagraph (b). You look at subparagraph (b)(i), and it says: The services described in this clause are abortions for which the expenditure of Federal funds appropriated for the Department of Health and Human Services is not permitted based on the laws in effect at the date that is six months before the beginning of the plan year. So this has actually misled people into thinking, oh, there is a provision here that prevents you from using money---- I am sorry. We were told we had 6 minutes, and we have used 4.
