This is a self-explanatory amendment. I am a supporter of this legislation, the patent reform bill. I also point out that this amendment does not bring about any substantive change to that legislation, nor does it lock anyone into a particular variation of a balanced budget amendment proposal. I am happy to work out an agreement as to the timing for a possible vote, and I hope we can get to that sometime soon. I yield the floor. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Idaho is recognized.
