Indeed, Mr. President. In response to my distinguished colleague, the issue of relevance has become an issue. Therefore, in the unanimous consent request I said, `` `relevant be related to the subject matter of the bill' and/or energy related.'' That is really to add what I think the Senator's concern is--is this relevancy going to be so tight that something having to do with energy will be excluded? By adding this clause, ``energy related,'' it is the understanding that we will consider other amendments on the list.
