mr. speaker , i appreciate the gentleman yielding . 
the campaign finance committees are still working on those issues . 
it is quite possible that we could address those issues in september . 
the way that i am watching the schedule of the other body , we will probably be here at least a week or two after october 1 , and we would be working on those issues . 
i have every expectation that the committee on ways and means will put out a retirement security bill for us to consider in september or the first of october . 
and , i am sure the gentleman remembers , we have a reconciliation process that is ongoing . 
we could have a reconciliation bill in that time period . 
so those are some of the major issues that we will be facing in september and october .
