The other thing I will mention came up in our discussions during the committee. When you find yourself in a situation--we just had this discussion in relationship to the REINS Act--where the administrative powers continue to kind of escalate and bloom out from that original piece of legislation, what you will find is, later on, that has to be revisited because oftentimes it is done hastily, doesn't make sense, is arbitrary in nature. It is very difficult for legislators to even read through those powers that have been granted and try to make sense of that. It is another thing that came up in committee that I think is valid. Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
