It may well be that the Senator from Florida did not understand. That was incorporated in the amendment and was suggested as an exception by the Senator from Wyoming. And I think it satisfies the concerns of the Senator from Florida. It is in the amendment on which we are now discussing and on which we will vote. If you are talking about the amendment that I offered last Friday, it is not in there. But it is in the amendment that we will be voting on.
