Madam President, my recollection is--and we have passed this bill, as we both have recognized, every year for the past 60 years, including over the last 4 or 5 years--in the last several years, there weren't that many amendments. There were a few, and it was always agreed in advance. There was a package, just as we had the other night, but everybody didn't get-- there wasn't an unlimited number of amendments or votes on amendments. There was generally an agreed-upon number of amendments, and it wasn't very many. Is that correct?
