Now, what I was going to suggest is I believe that the first part of the amendment is a useful statement of what is in the bill now. It is the second part that we have trouble with. If the gentleman would get unanimous consent to drop that part of it, we would accept the first part and be very pleased. I think it encourages a restatement, makes more clear that we need to have specificity and credibility of the source of the information, just as we really believe there should be.
