I think it is a fine argument. However, is it not essentially the same argument of anyone who has ever advanced a new initiative on this floor, when someone has suggested, let us review it? You say if something proves wrong, maybe we can review it in the future, but there is no mechanism within the gentleman's statute to ensure there is compelled review unless we have a sunset process. I am for the gentleman's bill. I am probably for a number of these other bills. However, if we are putting this in on measures we are for as well as those we are against, we will compel review and refocusing of this Congress on the statutes it is passing, rather than just having more and more regulations.
