Let me tell my colleagues where we are. Frankly, we have a long way to go. Once again, I am urging that Senators on our side--and I will yield to Senator Exon on his side--we need all the amendments, everybody who has an amendment to get us the amendment or at least the substance of it. We are going to try to work something out so we can get out of here at a reasonable time. We are not anywhere close to that. I think on our side we have 22 proposed amendments. We are looking them over, first with staff and then with various Senators. Senator Exon has a tentative list that is not even completed, of how many?
