I again congratulate the Senator from Arkansas and the Senator from Alaska for working on an important piece of bipartisan legislation, this reform of the Consumer Product Safety Commission. This is very important to all Americans. I agree that we ought to be able to move through the amendments that are being offered. I have tried to offer amendments early so we don't backload them and create problems later in the week. I appreciate what the Senator from Arkansas had to say. I have one amendment pending. In a moment, I intend to offer another amendment, so it will be pending. I have told Senator Pryor that I am more than happy to agree to a short time agreement and a time for a vote after a debate and everybody has had a chance to be heard. These are not complicated amendments, but they are important. I hope we can move through this and vote on the amendments and complete our work shortly. I told Senator Pryor that I do have another amendment I would like to call up and get pending. Amendment No. 4108
