“Well, Mr. President, the administration asked for 10 times. The Daschle amendment had 13 times. We reduced it to 4 times, for the exact point that the assistant Republican leader made, which was we did not think the Congress should be able to have these issues wrap up our schedule. Under this schedule, each rescission would be subject to 10 days before it had to be voted on. I am perfectly agreeable, should we get this into a process where we can amend it, as I said earlier, to include strike language or consider that and to also include language which would take it down to fewer times. That is not a problem, as far as I am concerned. We settled on four, arbitrarily, to say the least.”
