I think that this markup has been a lot better than it could have been, and I think the chairman has been probably very evenhanded on that.
It is amazing to me that, again, the things that will come out of this markup is not the simple fact that they are going to mark up this and they will send it to the floor.
This seems to be the greatest amount of circular reasoning that we have heard in the last couple of days.
