In referring to the gentleman from Wisconsin who just took a seat, I think if he looks, and unless I am mistaken, the matter that appeared in the Congressional Record of June 4, was just listing the title of the waivers. There was no explanation of what they were. So that really informs people a lot, so they can just look at the title of 88 waivers but does not say one thing about what those waivers are.
Discussing the lack of explanation for waivers listed in the Congressional Record.
