On the recordMay 17, 1994
I would presume--and we are getting into some hypotheticals, which I think is worth getting into, and I think the answers so far have reflected the fact this is a legitimate amendment that is not going to destroy the bill, but is just trying to get at the core issue of fines versus funding. But I think in that context you would presume that the agreement that had been worked out which would have drawn down the revolving fund would have interest rate language in it. I know of very few that do not have interest rate language in them. So I presume that would be a fund advantage.
