I will ask the Senator from Arizona, he has indicated his amendment will have a positive revenue impact, save millions of dollars. Has the amendment been reviewed by the Congressional Budget Office? And what is their estimate of how much money it raises? Mr. McCAIN. It has been scored as zero because it does not change the baseline. But I can tell my friend, it is patently obvious that if a spectrum is going to be auctioned off for somewhere between $300 million and $700 million, there is going to be an impact.
