Marshall, I will not be at the board meeting today. But Tom Vilsack spoke at a Chicago Council meeting last week , and he left the clear impression that this would not be a very high priority for the Administration in a short lame duck session unless we had a congressional champion with clout (probably in the Senate) really pushing this really big time. His advice was to do what we can now but plan for next year.
