This is an amendment that we should be able to accept. The problem is that it is hard to imagine how the college could actually comply with it. Any association with a terrorist organization obviously should be avoided. You are not dealing with the terrorist organization; you are dealing with an organization who then has an affiliation or some support from the organization. There is no way for the college to know. I would hope that we would not force the college into complying with something they would have no way to comply with. Mr. Chair, I oppose the amendment, and I reserve the balance of my time.
