I just want to add to that that we think these are thoughtful amendments. One of the major underlying purposes of this legislation of course is to promote protection of plants that can cure diseases. I think his second amendment certainly does that. I think it clarifies the use of grants. It is helpful. I think the addition of the members to the EAI board is also helpful in that regard and also to be sure the indigenous people are represented. I think the amendments are helpful legislation. I join the chairman of the committee in supporting them.
