So we're moving now. We're also involved in bigger talks with the United States Senate. Had several discussions during August with my friend Senator Susan Collins from Maine. She chairs that committee. We're trying to work out a way to pass a small package of bills, get them to the president before September 30 and then pass what's called a continuing resolution to it to buy some extra time. Otherwise funding. We won't get all the bills done by September 30th. Not because we haven't worked hard, because actually we're both on schedule to produce our bills, but because Congress has been pretty occupied. (07:30–07:45)
