On the recordJuly 24, 2003
reclaiming my time, in the measure before us the very short and direct answer is ``no.'' Whatever may have occurred in the process of developing this legislation or whatever was a desired result really is the past. The measure in front of us says the list that is in this bill is the list, period. If Congress wants to address it, if Congress wants to expand or shrink the list, that is within the congressional prerogative. No other group, administration or otherwise, can change the list. Of course, the administration could be offering a proposal to Congress to consider, but it will be Congress' decision to modify the list that is in front of us in this bill.
