I would just briefly explain that we narrowed the amendment to only cover those who disclose, which means people pretty much making over $120,000 or so. It conforms with the disclosure requirement under the STOCK Act. Our concern is top staff in major decisionmaking positions and sitting U.S. Senators. That is our target, that is our concern, and we wanted to conform it with provisions Senator Gillibrand has put in her legislation subject to the STOCK Act. Thank you, Mr. President. I appreciate Senator Merkley's input and involvement in helping with this amendment. I yield the floor.
