That is not what last year's budget agreement says. I also make the other point that, with respect to this bill--and you said you were shocked at the objection. I hope you listened to the Senator from New Hampshire in laying out what were legitimate complaints about the way this bill was brought to the floor, when certain assurances were given. As you know--and the Senator is a committee chairman and knows how markups work--certain assurances were made about issues being brought up in committee, and technical corrections or other corrections were ``agreed upon.'' And then when the bill came to the floor, those changes were not made.
