My understanding is that third amendment is not a tax-related amendment and would be appropriate to be offered, for example, if you wanted to, on the homeland security bill or another piece of legislation that is coming through. So there isn't a need to have that amendment attached particularly to a tax vehicle. I understand your second amendment has tax implications and is necessary to offer to a tax bill. But this amendment you could offer, if you wanted to, once we leave this unanimous consent, to homeland security. It probably has a much better chance of being passed and signed by the President in this legislation. So I would say to the Senator, if he wants to do that, I would argue that the better opportunity for him to do it is on homeland security, not this tax bill.
