Mr. President, I wish to end by saying this is not an attack on the highway bill. It has its own issues, but this provision simply attacks the subsidy--the $3 billion subsidy--that was added back in after we had agreed in a bipartisan way to these cuts. We cannot continue to go back on the cuts that we have made. In this case we didn't even wait 1 month or 2 months. The agreement was made on this floor before the bill was even passed. We have to get away from that kind of practice. So I urge support for this point of order, and I yield back. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Oklahoma.
