this amendment is very simple. It allows a point of order to be raised if the tax reform reported back to the floor by the committee increases the deficit. It is as simple as that. Do you believe we should act on tax reform that increases the deficit? If you agree with me that we should not be increasing the deficit with the tax reform reported back from the committee, then vote for this amendment or, if necessary, vote for waiving the point of order that may be raised. I urge my colleagues, if you are serious about the deficit, we shouldn't be passing legislation that increases it. Mr. President, I reserve the remainder of my time. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Wyoming.
