I understand my colleague's concern about action taken 5 years later. Will my friend look at page 3 and read lines 8 through 10? Does that language not say: If, after a proposed agency action is finalized, the Secretary determines that the agency action would be likely to have a significant adverse economic impact on or jeopardize the safety of agricultural producers, the President may, not later than 60 days after the date on which the agency action is finalized, review the determination of the Secretary; reverse, preclude. I believe the language is specific, and I appreciate my colleague directing his attention to that.
