What I would say on this one is that given that part of the question of replacement of fighter jets is our commitment to NATO, this certainly could be accommodated within our NATO study if the steering committee sat down and took a hard look at what we're doing. That would be my preferred approach—to include it in the NATO study, and make sure we finish that study and that it gets back to the House before we rise. I think that would accommodate the demand for timeliness in Mr. Bezan's motion. I think it takes the steering committee to sit down and look really hard at what the most efficient and best use of our time in the NATO study is.
