Yes. Madam President, reserving the right to object, and I will object. My colleague from Utah, who is a very smart man on the Judiciary Committee, like I am--I don't know if I am smart, but we are on the same committee--we are actually making progress here. Just briefly, Senator Cruz has had an amendment that says if someone is suspected of being part of an enemy force, they will have a hearing to strip their citizenship, which avoids the problem Senator Lee and I have. He is trying to combine that with his amendment. Unfortunately, there is no ability to hold them as an enemy combatant during that process--and maybe we can work that out later--so I object. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard. The Senator from Utah.
