“Let me suggest this: The provision that is in question here or is before us doesn't take effect--the overall provision--until 2014. What our purpose is here today is not to correct a flaw but to reaffirm so there could be zero questions. I would suggest this: That we proceed--and I want to assure you, I think I can on behalf of everyone concerned--that we will look at your bill, and we will work with you, and if there's agreement, we will proceed expeditiously. So I would hope that would work for you. I just wanted to assure you of our good will on this. And if there is an issue that has to be considered, we'll do that. The problem right now is, it's impossible--we just received this--to understand whether or not it might have an impact in terms of the overall bill. The overall bill has to be scored. As you know, Mr. Buyer, it's very technical. So again, let me suggest that we proceed and give you the assurance that we will look at this and proceed expeditiously.”
