I am still a little concerned about on what bill this amendment is being offered. I want this to pass, and I would hate to see it passed in the Senate and we get a good warm and fuzzy feeling inside and then we lose it in conference or we lose the stimulus altogether.

This amendment needs to be adopted because this is not only happening in the State of Montana, it is happening in other States as well.

I heartily urge my colleagues to support this amendment.
