I do have a problem with the manager's amendment. If we come in with a very broad amendment, we could undercut the very intention of the unfunded mandate legislation in that if it did not qualify for a point of order, it could put all kinds of mandates and costs on. And that would become a little unworkable, I think. If we could perfect this so that we were talking about other amendments, I certainly would be open.
