But I am worried that Vice President Gore has sent a signal to the agencies that regardless of whether Kyoto is implemented or not, he and the President expect them to move forward in addressing this problem. And I think we have to correct for that, and we have with the Knollenberg amendment, by saying, no, they cannot use taxpayer funds to advocate for the adoption of Kyoto; they cannot use taxpayer funds to regulate, to implement Kyoto. So I guess I am very strongly in support of the Knollenberg language.
