I appreciate that very much, Mr. Chairman. Then, for all of our edification, not needing a response unless you care to give one, I said earlier in my remarks that it was less than 2 percent of the delinquencies that occurred in the executive branch, inclusive of the IRS. I don't mean to beat up on staff and Congress people, but congressional employees have less than 6 percent, about 5.8 percent, delinquencies. Now, I am not arguing for delinquencies. But if we are going to go after the IRS, then we might want to take care of our own. I yield to the gentleman from Texas, if he cares to respond.
