I have been told by my staff and others that it is a slimmed down version of the original bill. That was confirmed by the Senator from New Mexico. I further went on to say, to ask the Senator from New Mexico if it had the section 45 production tax credit in it. He said no. I then went further and said, would he, the Senator from New Mexico, support the FSC bill, which does have the production tax credits in it, and he said he would. I then said, that being the case, that we have a smaller version of the original Energy bill than I originally thought, and, further, that he would support the FSC bill, including the production tax credit provision that was placed in there by Senators Grassley and Baucus. I then said I think that is going to make for some interesting votes in the next few days.
