we have a very simple amendment. Sometimes in simplicity is strength. Sometimes in simplicity is power. Sometimes in simplicity you get to the place you want to get. I do not like a lot of words. I believe a few words will say it. Look at what we say here: Consistent with applicable standards and procedures-- which means everybody's rights are protected-- the Department of Justice shall review allegations of impropriety regarding item 462 in section 1934(c) of Public Law 109-59-- That is the Coconut Road project-- to ascertain if a violation of Federal criminal law has occurred. I think we know enough to warrant this kind of amendment. I think we know enough to be concerned. I think we know enough to say to the Justice Department: Please pay attention to this. Do your work. Make a determination and get on with it because this is very serious. I yield the floor.
