Mr. President, I have a motion to refer with instructions at the desk, and I ask that it be stated. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will report the motion. The assistant legislative clerk read as follows: The Senator from Nevada [Mr. Reid] moves to refer the House message to the Appropriations Committee, with instructions to report back forthwith with an amendment numbered 3312. The amendment is as follows: At the end, insert the following: ``The Committee on Appropriations is requested to study the impact of any delay in implementing the provisions of the Act on job creation on a regional and national level.''
