I have just withdrawn the ethanol amendment. As the minority leader suggested, my plans are to reintroduce that amendment at the earliest time feasible, likely first thing tomorrow morning. What has just happened is that while we were talking about ethanol and energy, we were moved to the consideration of something which, yes, could be related but it is on child tax credits, another issue that is important to the American people. What we have agreed to do is to address that issue sometime in the very near future in a way that we can consider alternatives to addressing the issues surrounding child tax credits.
