“For myself, I will answer that question very shortly this way. First of all, we are only talking about the portion that is going to come from the taxpayers. Second, we in no way in our amendment limit executive salaries for corporations. In fact, it is none of our business to do that. That is a market decision. We want that to be a market decision, and nothing in our amendment keeps that from happening. The point is, how much should be paid out of the Treasury and how much should be paid out of other income? That is a stockholders versus CEO business relationship that we will not infringe upon. Our amendment does not; we don't intend to. Both of us would say it would be wrong for us to do that.”
