as Senator Hatch and I--very briefly-- offer a bipartisan amendment, it is a bipartisan amendment based on the ideas from both bodies. It reflects the fact that we have tried to come up with an approach we can finish this week that does not overuse pension smoothing, that ensures we comply with our tax laws, and includes bipartisan initiatives that promote natural gas vehicles, help our farmers, and ensure that earned pension rights are protected. The other body offers what amounts to our way or no highway. We offer a bipartisan alternative. I hope all of my colleagues will support it. It is the first vote at hand. The PRESIDING OFFICER. If there is no further debate, the question is on agreeing to amendment No. 3582. The clerk will call the roll. The assistant legislative clerk called the roll.
