He is saying let's take up the House-passed bill. The request I was going to make, and I ask my colleague if he would agree with this, is let's take the House-passed bill and let's have an amendment on each side, one amendment, an amendment, whichever--maybe it is the Dodd-Sarbanes-Schumer amendment. I believe the amendment I was hoping our side would offer would be the Dodd-Gramm amendment. I ask my colleague, would he modify his request to allow one amendment offered to the House substitute, one proposed by the majority leader, and one proposed by the minority leader, and make that small modification?
