That is what I am in the process of doing. I commented about the Ensign amendment. I was about to say we are going to have the amendment of the Senator from Florida, Mr. Nelson, which I anticipate will be accepted as well. Then we are going to take the Kyl amendment under an arrangement where there will be a tabling motion. And it is now anticipated that we will have an hour-and-a-half time limit there. I would like to do it in an hour time limit, if that would be acceptable to that side. Senator Kyl is prepared to take a half an hour.
