Maybe. That may be possible as we move forward. With some cooperation, we may be able to actually expedite the time frame. That is this gentleman's wish. The sooner, the better. But within 6 months of enactment, we will have the first phase of this. We will have a number of the components already implemented. As to the prescription drug plan, I think our leadership will move more quickly than 2006. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.

I just want to comment about what I saw, that I hope and I do believe Washingtonians and Americans understand, and that was his commitment to civility and a constitutional democracy.
A full life is not just about what you do with your years on this Earth, but about how you make people feel long after you've left it.
You cannot understand a person unless you take the time to listen to them; that you should always put country over party, no matter the issue.
This is a man who stood for the Constitution and civility, from day one of his congressional career to the last day of his last term.
