With all due respect, a letter is a letter but that is like an epitaph. I have to be very careful in allowing it to be read because somebody else could come in and keep us here all night by reading ten such letters onto the record. As I said earlier, with all due respect, the letter broadly says "No" to this legislation and does not refer exactly to the amendment before us. I cannot allow it. I have to be very fair.
