I thank my good friend for yielding to me. Maybe we can work together on this amendment because it is a simple carve-out. It should be narrow. It clarifies that the bill's provision does not apply to environmental reviews or permitting on other agencies' decisions that could deal with potential terrorist attack targets, such as chemical facilities and other critical infrastructure. I don't think that that is something that the gentleman and myself would disagree with and, particularly, the nuclear plants, which take a longer period of time.
