Actually there is an increase in my chairman's amendment. It is also a significant decrease from what the Senate has added to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Because we have so many deaths on the road, and NHTSA has been significantly underfunded, it definitely makes sense to as fully fund them as they can to provide their mission of auto safety. So, for that reason and all the others I listed, I certainly urge my colleagues to vote ``no'' on this legislation. Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
