I agree with him the support is much more than pro forma; it is sincere and thought-out support. I do not know how many pages of this very complex legislation there are. There are numerous areas that represent room for improvement, and support for any legislation generally does not obviate the possibility of improvements and compromises. I hope, as this debate goes forward, we might consider the possibility that in this particular area a mechanism be found to provide for a waiver that is more realistic in its ability to be practically used than to require the President, not delegated to anyone else, as being the only person who could grant such a waiver.
