“Once again, I am somewhat confused as to the point and direction of this particular amendment. If it is about the military line, this amendment does nothing to it. If it is about protecting the coast of Florida, this amendment does nothing to it. It is about having a better way of doing the system to provide more protection. It moves us back and removes the ability of the department--BSEE, in this situation--to protect and realize that because it takes away their creative alternatives. There are always better ways of doing something. This prohibits us from doing it. This is the wrong amendment on the wrong bill that gives us the wrong direction. Madam Chair, I urge a ``no'' vote on this amendment, and I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Crist). The amendment was agreed to. Amendment No. 2 Offered by Ms. Barragan The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 2 printed in part B of House Report 116-200.”
