I want to clear this up, because we say specifically that there is--all right, let me read this, from section 625 of Dole- Johnston: Compliance or noncompliance by an agency with the provisions of this subchapter and subchapter III shall be subject to judicial review only in accordance with this section. (b) except as provided in subsection (e) and subject to subchapter II each court with jurisdiction under a statute to review final agency action to which this title applies has jurisdiction to review any claims of noncompliance with this subchapter and subchapter III. . . . And then next: Except as provided in subsection (e), no claims of noncompliance with this chapter or subchapter III shall be reviewed separate or apart from judicial review of the final agency action to which they relate. And then we state here that that is a review of final agency action. It is as clear as it can be. Now tell me where else you were going to be able to review this? It says 'compliance or noncompliance shall be subject to judicial review only in accordance with this section,' and there is the section. It is final agency action. Now is that not clear, I ask my friend?
