The amendment just failed unfortunately. It was 205 Yea to 217 Nay, so close. Only 12 votes short.

Seeing that the amendment was only 12 votes short of being adopted and you having previously expected only a 15% chance of being adopted, would you say this was a better result that you had expected to recieve? In other words did you guys expect it to be as close of a vote as it was?

I know you had mentioned that even if the vote failed that it would get the president's attention. Do you think our phone calls had a major impact?
