I will take 1 minute. Before Senator Bond leaves, I thank him for his statement. I have heard the Senator eloquently describe this whole situation regarding automobiles in the United States and CAFE standards, but it seems to me this amendment is even way beyond anything we debated before. We are talking about changing by a couple miles, 2 or 3 miles. What we are talking about here would never become law. Let's be serious about it. But if it would, we are talking 3 or 4 times the CAFE standards we have today. What kind of cars could we build?
