Additional investments in transmission infrastructure certainly will help our country meet anticipated future energy needs.

Well, let me just ask a parliamentary inquiry here. What is the parliamentary procedure if we were to attempt to do something like that?

I'm not positive what the rules are here, but the gentleman from Massachusetts says that he has amendment No. 7, and in the list of amendments that we have, the sponsor of No. 7 is said to be Mr. Quigley of Illinois. Would the Chair be…
