Could I add one thing that I think should be driven home? If we are going to expedite this process, we are going to have to have people who are on the list to come and offer their amendments on Friday, or on Monday and not leave here tonight and assume that they are home free until sometime on Tuesday because, if we all do that, then Tuesday is going to be a much worse day than it is destined to be in any event. So I hope people listened to what Senator Domenici said and be here tomorrow to offer amendments, and not just assume, and then everybody flock in here as they usually do at 2:30 on Tuesday afternoon and say, ``Why can't I have 2 hours on my amendment?'' It will not be.

I recommend that all Senators vote in favor of the amendment. I would simply point out that the amendment does nothing more than what the States can already do. I will vote for this amendment, and the one that follows. I will strongly…
