I share the gentleman's commitment to completing this work before we leave for the August recess. That is a commitment that will, in fact, be met. In that regard, let me say we do hope for and will be looking for opportunities in addition to those announced to bring that work back on the floor. I might further and finally express with respect to this important legislation my appreciation for the floor managers and the other interested parties in this body for the congenial way in which they are managing to work out agreements by which we can better manage these works. It is through their congeniality and inventiveness that I remain confident that we will in fact have a satisfactory completion of this work, where everyone will know and appreciate they are being treated fairly by their own common agreements.
