Reserving the right to object, Mr. President, I understand that we are going to get the proposal from the majority shortly. I come back again to the fact that there are changes apparently worth billions and billions of dollars, like the passthrough provision. We need to be able to see these. The American people have a right to know. I believe the majority has indicated that we will get this shortly, and I withdraw my reservation and will point out that if we don't get it shortly, I will stay at my post and keep objecting because the American people have a right to know that tax policy is being made in the dark. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. Who yields time? The Senator from Colorado.
