None. That is precisely my point. My point is how can a Member offer a second-degree amendment until an amendment has been offered to which a Member could respond to. So the gentlelady talks about 135 amendments. That tends to be somewhere near the norm for Defense authorization bills in the past. So there is nothing outside that norm. I thank the gentlelady for making the point. None of the 135 were second-degree amendments, and my remarks were specifically addressed to second-degree amendments.
