I do not want to necessarily speak on this amendment, although I must say the amendment is starting to get closer to the target we are at least talking about the bill. We laid this bill down on Monday. As I recall, I was in the chair when the distinguished chairman laid this bill down. We have now over 4 days covered almost every subject that is being discussed here in Washington in the last year or two. I am curious, I would ask the chairman of the Commerce Committee when the Commerce Committee dealt with S. 4, when that was voted out of the committee, was this a controversial bill? Was it a close vote? Could the chairman tell us what happened in the committee on this bill?
