Wonders never cease. I do not know what amendment the distinguished Senator from Massachusetts has been talking about. But he sure as heck has not been talking about mine, not the one that is pending. He got his figures all jumbled up. I do not know who wrote that thing for him. At one time he said Deputy Secretary, at another time he said Assistant Secretary, and so forth. He may have his staff correct the copy in the Congressional Record so it will be in order. Let us review the bidding on what this amendment actually does, not what Senator Kerry says it does. First of all, this amendment gives the State Department absolutely the same number of Assistant Secretaries and absolutely the same number of executive level IV pay positions as it has now.
William Helms: “Wonders never cease. I do not know what amendment the distinguished Senator from Massachusetts has been talking about.…”
