I do not need 4\1/2\ minutes. The distinguished Senator from Illinois has made a very generous suggestion in asking all of his colleagues to support the amendment. He has made an excellent case for his amendment. He was not successful in this instance, but he has been very generous, very gracious, and I want to, in particular, thank him for the fine example he sets in this regard. I am willing to accept the amendment on this side of the aisle, and I hope my counterpart will do the same on the other side. I think Senator Stevens will do that.
