I support this amendment. And I want to thank the gentleman from South Carolina and you, Mr. Chairman.

I just wish that we could get some more of this and that we could agree, but I would agree that this amendment looks like it is moving, Mr. Barr, in the right direction.

Unfortunately I regret that I have to say I oppose this measure.
