Reclaiming my time, I reiterate again that this is the same as the Goss amendment. In that regard, there is no change. So, Mr. Chairman, I feel this is a fair and equitable amendment. It does not gut the bill. Just as there were 210 who voted for the Goss amendment, I think the same people ought to be voting to make sure that the Mineta-Davis amendment in this instance to change it to 20 percent should pass.
