I would like to clarify a position. The gentleman is the sponsor of a bill, H.R. 4114, on which I am a cosponsor and all the members of the Congressional Black Caucus are cosponsors, and there are in all more than a hundred cosponsors, and I would like to ask him if he would just clarify for us the similarities and the differences between H.R. 4114 and this amendment. Basically I see a lot of similarities. I just would like to hear him clarify if there are any differences.
