I rise in opposition to this amendment. This, again, is about delay, about postponing, about putting off the job that needs to be done. What the focus of this bill is all about is cutting costs. What I have said to colleagues--and my friend, the Presiding Officer of the Senate, knows this--is that our bill on prescription drugs kicks in this fall. We really kick in on the efforts to hold down price gouging when medicine is going up faster than the rate of inflation. I urge my colleagues to oppose this. We can't afford any further delay in priorities like saving senior citizens from their medicine costs. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from North Dakota.
