as I already stated, I think it is a good amendment. As I also stated, there may be some who object to it who are not here to raise their objection. I suggest that we just keep it listed on the vote order. When it comes up, unless somebody reserves the remainder of the time, and when it comes up on the vote order, unless somebody objects or wants to be heard, we will simply accept it at that time. And if somebody calls for a vote, we will go to a vote.
