“Again, I support the gentleman's underlying amendment and will support the vote on it. But as I hear the chairman's comments, I am sitting here with regard to the idea that amendments were allowed, that this could have been done through TARP 1 through an amendment. I am sitting hear racking my brain. To the best of my knowledge, there were no amendments that were going through on the floor on this at this time, so the gentleman or myself would not have been allowed to do that, and I know that we did not have a hearing or a markup in committee on TARP 1, so there was absolutely no possibility at that time for the chairman to entertain either your amendment or my amendment or anyone else's amendment. Of course, we didn't have a markup, so there was not an opportunity for either one of us to confer.”
