“A question to the Senator. The Senator said that you were concerned about implementation and that it may not be timely at the State level to implement this. I think, just prior to when you came to the floor, I suggested a possible amendment to the Senator from Nebraska's amendment that would add a qualifier, something like, ``to the best extent practical.'' So it doesn't slow the program down, but it acknowledges that both the Department of Labor and the States should endeavor to implement this in a way that ensures people don't get paid more not to work than to work. So it adds a qualifier. You just suggested there might be bipartisan agreement. Would the Senator from Delaware be amenable to such a change?”
