I thank the Senator. In view of this, we ought to trust the people in the States. The Governors can determine whether this is adversely affecting their consumers and the ability of their citizens to get good jobs. The definition of consumers is not restricted just to individuals. They are also business enterprises. We ought to trust the people in the States who have the same concerns as everyone in this body to make this determination as to how it may affect their respective States. I urge my colleagues to support the amendment of the Senator from Arizona.
