That is a proposed amendment, to have the same $250 limit in the bill before us, as currently exists under the rules. Someone has proposed that we have that same $250 limit subject to the waiver of the Ethics Committee which we have under the current rules. I am willing to accept that amendment. It seems to me that is reasonable. But as the language reads right now, there is no such limit.
