If the Senator will yield, I believe the majority leader has properly characterized what the discussions have been between both leaders. The majority leader has said the other side can offer its package, which could include Senator Moseley-Braun's, or not, or we could agree on a set number of amendments for each side, so long as they are germane to education, which, of course, should embrace the Senator's idea as well. So there are at least two separate suggestions being discussed between leaders that would facilitate the opportunity of the Senator from Illinois to bring her proposal into the debate.
