If I understand the context of the Senator's argument, what he is saying is that New York does not need an oxygen requirement, that New York can use reformulated gasoline and can meet the clean air standards by this reformulated gasoline, and California as well does not need an oxygen requirement; we can meet clean air standards without an oxygenate requirement and, where we do not meet clean air standards--summer months in Southern California--can use ethanol and we do not need an around-the-year requirement. So if I understand the Senator correctly, his position then is exempt New York, exempt California, from the strictures of this bill, and exempt us from an oxygenate requirement. Is that the position of the Senator?
