First, I would like to lay the predicate. The Senator has brought forth an important concept. He asked for a study. I am prepared to support the study. But I urge my colleague, as I did the other day on another part of the amendment--and he accepted my advice and took that out--we have to look at this interrogation section. There is a trigger mechanism, if you look at the amendment, which says in 90 days every one of these contractors has to discontinue their work. That is what it says. Am I not correct?
