“I would just also ask the chairman to address this in conference committee. This is an extraordinarily consequential policy change to try and be moved forward in report language. That just is not right. It ought to come back to the authorization committee if this is going to be tackled head-on.

I hope we finally get it worked out in a more appropriate way in the conference report.”
