I thank Mr. Goodlatte for his honest testimony and submitting it. For that reason, among others, I will be voting ``no'' on this amendment, and I hope that it will be found to be ``no'' by the Chair. Because when the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, a fine Republican lawyer, says that the amendment is beyond what they intended, it shouldn't really be part of the bill. Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Kentucky (Mr. Barr). The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the noes appeared to have it.
