I thank my colleague. I would simply say that it seems to me he has it a little backward. We should pass this bill and then work on the changes--not hold this bill up. Who knows what can happen? Maybe it will happen today; maybe it will not. We have the moment to do it now. We waited 2\1/2\ days. We could have done the UC Monday. We waited until Wednesday afternoon.

It would be very, very wise and helpful to small business--and I have talked to many of them all across the country--to pass this bill now, and then we will work in good faith on the small change that my colleague wished to have.
