the modification, and I will give the gentleman a copy, which I should have done earlier, changes one word. In the original amendment that was at the desk, on the last page, paragraph 9, line 19, which is the last time we used word ``action,'' that it is appropriate for Congressional action this year, that is what the amendment shows.
