The suggestion in this amendment is the majority leader and the minority leader of the Senate will each appoint two members, one from the consumer side, one from the energy industry side. So there would be two who would come from the Senate and the House, the majority and minority leaders. So there would be four altogether, and then a fifth would be appointed by the President. So 5 of the 11--not even a majority--would be consumer voices.
