We need to go into January so we don't have that pressure pushing people to make a bad deal. And thankfully, and I'll give John Thune credit, John Thune leaned in and said, we're going till January 30th. That's what's in there. We will have this same fight at the end of January, but that at least gives us some more time and some more time to deal with it. (33:28–33:32)
