Our discussion on these issues should prove to be helpful in our future efforts to advance our legislative agenda. In particular, I hope the health care dialogue we began in this meeting will serve as the foundation for an effective message and legislative strategy on this crucial issue. As you heard in that meeting, we have a great deal of work yet to do on the small business and structural issues. I look forward to our meetings next week as we continue our planning efforts. Again, Harold, thanks for your participation. I am grateful for the informative nature of your presentation. Please call on the Policy Committee if we can be of any assistance to you in the future. With best wishes, I am Sincerely, Finance Tom Daschle Co-Chairman We look fruind to the ciming months, fould!
