I would just say in reading the amendment that States should generally follow the standards. I served in a State legislature for 12 years in appropriations, and I know what license that word ``generally'' gives to a State legislature in a State government. Generally it does not keep these really good high standards that we have worked on for 42 years on in this bill.
