Q Okay. Senate Minority Leader McConnell and 28 other Republican senators introduced the Domestic Energy Production Act to allow oil production in only 8 percent of the entire ANWR area. And my question: Does the White House believe that the nation needs to know that among those senators who voted to defeat this bill, which could have cut the now huge cost of gasoline, were certain United States senators from Illinois and New York?

MS. PERINO: No; it's very interesting, though. Thanks for pointing it out.

Q The President realizes this, doesn't he?

MS. PERINO: I don't know if he did a whip count.

Q All right, thank you.
