Just in a moment let me indicate that you can always find just a sliver on which to oppose. I hold in my hand a whole list of Republicans that believe the bill works and should work. So that, we should take off the table. Republicans and Democrats support this legislation. And then I can assure you that people answering the phone will not be randomly answering the phone.

Mr. Speaker, I have no further speakers, and I reserve the balance of my time.
