On a point of clarification, I have a point of order in relation to a statement made before by Senator Conroy. He said that we voted for the first stimulus package. I have checked the record. I certainly did not vote for the first stimulus package. In fact, both votes went through on the voices. I think I would be clearly on the public record saying that I did not support the first stimulus package. I certainly did not support the second one.

If this is a matter of personal explanation you should take it up at the appropriate time after we take note of answers. That has been the traditional time, Senator Joyce. I recommend that to you. It is more a matter of personal explanation, which I think you are entitled to make at the appropriate time.
