As a consequence of the discussion we have had, it is my understanding that we have been able to address many of the concerns associated with the discussion on the $1.6 billion from oil leases from offshore Alaska. So it is my intention to withdraw my amendment. Further, it is my understanding that Senator Gorton agrees with me that the additional $800 million should be captured through legislation in the authorizing committee. I understand the floor manager would support that.
