Barbara Boxer said "Mr. President, I will be very brief. I know my colleagues want to present the Carper-Corker-Boxer amendment. I will just say that we just did the math. The Senator cuts the gas tax to such a degree that the States would get an 80-percent cut. The Senator can do the math himself, but I am happy to work with the Senator on it. It is not convenient--it is not right to speak about another Member when they are not here, but my understanding is Senator Inhofe does not currently support this. I could be wrong. We will find out in a couple hours. One of us can apologize. But I will apologize if I misstated his objection to this. I yield the floor. Amendment No. 3583 The PRESIDING OFFICER.
