Harry Reid: “The amendment to the title of S. 1280, as engrossed by the Senate was set out only in the heading of amendment No. 668…”

“The amendment to the title of S. 1280, as engrossed by the Senate was set out only in the heading of amendment No. 668, the substitute for the bill, and not in the text of amendment No. 668. It was not properly drafted as an amendment to the title of the bill. Unlike properly drafted title amendments, amendment headings are not printed in the Congressional Record, nor are they contained in online computer records. Therefore, this title amendment is first present in the engrossed Senate bill and is not otherwise reproduced as part of the legislative history of the bill. To clarify the Senate's intention to amend this title, the Senate agreed to this unanimous consent request. ____________________”
