“I am not certain what that is all about. I am told there may have been some after 6 p.m. But, again, I say to the Senator from Arizona, these were cleared on both sides. We never kept any from Senator Lugar. He never kept any from us--not on either side. We have had our staffs look at them. We have checked with other members. That is what I am talking about--openness and availability but also trust and trusting whether or not committee chairmen and their staffs are sensitive enough, and ranking members are sensitive enough, to say: We don't need to burden the entire Senate with this. We can make a judgment, check as appropriate and make the amendment available. I also say to my friend from Arizona, even though these are in the managers' package--first of all, it is not billions, it is $38 million, I say to my friend. Mr. McCAIN. I will be glad to discuss that with the Senator from Iowa. No. 18 is changed from $375,000 to $355 million, and change $50,000 to $50 million. That is just amendment No. 18.”
