what the Senator from Nevada has suggested is instead of taking the normal course, which is the House has passed a bill, the Senate has passed a bill, and for us to go to conference to negotiate the differences, the Senator from Nevada is suggesting we take our bill and send it back to the House where the House would simply take it and put a bill there and send it back here, which would be fully amendable again, and it would go back to the House and it could go back to the Senate and we never reach a conclusion. I suggest the way to solve this problem is to go to conference. I hope we can do so.
