Mr. President, I wanted to ask a question of my friend from Oklahoma about the meaning of his amendment. As I understand it, the statement that would be required to be prepared, pursuant to section 202(a), if this amendment is adopted, would have to be prepared for either the private sector or the public sector providing they reach in either case $100 million annually adjusted for inflation. Is that correct? In other words, if the public sector mandates the cost of $100 million in any one year, that will trigger the reform.
