I am going to rise in opposition to the amendment. There are just so many questions. I think Chairman Goodlatte raises them. We are open to work with you as we go through it. It is quarter after 9. Nobody is there at the Bureau of Prisons. We are not going to get a constructive answer, and we don't want to do something that causes damage. One, I am going to oppose the amendment. Mr. Goodlatte was so convincing. And secondly, we will be willing to work with you though to see. Because I understand what you are trying to do, and I am sort of sympathetic to it. But for now with the way it is drafted I will oppose the amendment and ask for a ``no'' vote. I yield back the balance of my time. {time} 2115
