“What we want is a delay that sticks and that we know we are going to have, not just one that is attached as an amendment to this bill that may not be accepted by the House. It may be changed in conference and modified even further. What we need is relief from the April 15 deadline that is almost upon us, a little more than a month away. So we need action, and we need to be assured that this will be something that will delay the enforcement of the regulations.”
