Called back for a special session? And do you anticipate the sole focus. Being on food systems? Do you think other issues come up? So I will say that I have talked to the leadership of the House and of the Senate, and I think that their comments have been very positive, that they could move very quickly. I told them that we would not be afraid to call them if we need to. So I think that we could call them back and get them here within a couple days if we need to. (32:38–32:47)
