Okay, thank you very much, Senator Carper. Thank you, Senator Ayotte. I've just got a couple other questions. And again, just to quick bring balance to some of the comments made, We would not be discussing DHS funding today. Had President Obama not taken the unilateral executive action, we would have probably passed an omnibus through the end of this fiscal year. So that's the reason DHS funding is up in the air at this point in time. And again, just yesterday, the way to address this DHS funding would actually be to put a bill on the floor and open it up to debate. (16:09–16:19)
