I would like to commend the gentleman for this amendment. When you make a phone call in to complain about harassment or intimidation, that information may or may not ever become known, so this is really a pro-transparency measure. The amendment says: ``together with a description of actions taken in response to such instances of voter intimidation or suppression.'' The State legislatures may not know, we may not know how many efforts are being made. We should know that to see whether what we have done here is sufficient, whether the Voting Rights Act that will be following along this bill later in the spring needs to address this. Madam Chair, this is an excellent amendment.
