I thank the Senator. On page 4, line 15 of his amendment, it says if the Secretary cannot make the certification required under section 1(C), he shall notify the Congress and publish his statement. 1(C) says, the main part there, that the benefits must justify the cost. Now, my question is, when the Senator says he cannot make the certification, does that mean he cannot in good conscience make it, or he cannot because he disagrees with it? In other words, is there any limitation on why he cannot make the certification?
