The gentleman from Kentucky also knows that I also support the amendment he offered, but he played the game that we play around here and tried to think that I wouldn't have the courage to stand up against that garbage amendment because it was the right amendment at the wrong time. I yield, Mr. President, unless there is additional time and someone else wants to speak. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Senator from Kentucky.
