I am kind of fascinated that on our desks, every day throughout the session, we get a copy of whatever bill is being debated, even if it is the same one being debated the day before; and if we take it back to our office, another one miraculously appears the next day, in spite of the amount of paper involved with that and, as a plug for a computer, don't you think it would cut down on the amount of paper if we could utilize a computer on the floor? That is not really my question. This is a 753-page bill that is appearing on our desks. I know that you are aware that this isn't even the bill we are debating.
