let me pose a question to my friend from Connecticut. Is it the Senator's determination that this language he quoted under subsection (2) that ``The President may issue an order suspending any provision of this chapter . . . if the President determines that the suspension is necessary in the interest of national security,'' is it the Senator's understanding that would supersede the new requirement that he find the responsibilities of the agency have materially changed?
