The amendment that I have put out here says: ``None of the funds made available by this Act may be used for mifepristone, commonly known as RU-486, for any purpose.'' And so I've specified why I'm concerned and why I address this language to the broader bill, but because there are grant funds available for telemedicine in the bill, that's why I'm concerned that this application that I've used could well go, and has gone according to Kathleen Sebelius, to those grants. If the gentleman doesn't agree, I would think he neither would disagree with the amendment because, therefore, it wouldn't have an effect by the gentleman's interpretation. Mr. Chairman, I urge the adoption of my amendment. I yield back the balance of my time.
