“let me put a correction in the Record. My understanding is that in their caucus the majority party handed out a list of amendments that had been filed at the desk and awaiting debate on the farm bill. In the handout in the majority caucus, on page 3 of the list is an amendment No. 3205, with my name, Senator Dorgan, on emergency relief for refiners. Well, I have not offered such an amendment. I have offered amendments that are numbered 3206 and 3207. My office has received calls from people who have gotten hold of this handout and wondered what on Earth am I doing. This is a mistake by somebody. I hope they will correct that in their next handout. There is no reason to believe it was deliberate. I have trouble enough defending the record I create around here as it exists, let alone defending something I have not introduced nor offered, and would not support. I do not know what this amendment is, but I would not be offering amendments dealing with refiners. In any event, I want people to know this is not correct, and I hope it will be corrected. I yield the floor.”
