I so note his comments. Again, addressing the Senator's amendment, it clearly, in my judgment, restricts in some respects the recognition that this is a sovereign government in Iraq today, in the hands of a duly elected Prime Minister and others, and that this amendment could well be construed as restricting what they can and cannot do. That was so eloquently stated by Senator McCain. I wondered if the Senator would care to try and revise the amendment so it is consistent with the longstanding practices of our country with respect to our adversaries, in some way to recognize that it is not in conflict with that?
