One final short question. I ask my friend to read the Secretary's letter. It pertains only to risk assessment, which, as I say, is contained in the Glenn-Daschle bill. That is all he talks about. He does not talk about the exception. I invite you and the principal author of the alternative to read your own bill, and I invite the Secretary to read the exceptions, because they except from the operation of risk assessment these inspections. At an appropriate time, I will be offering an amendment to exempt all regulations where notice of proposed regulation was commenced prior to July 1, 1995, because I think there is a problem going back and looking at that, and maybe that will give us a basis on which to satisfy the Secretary and everybody else.
