Madam President, as modified, this amendment would simply eliminate a very problematic provision in the underlying bill, provision section 105, but it has a very bad effect, and this would clear that up. It would shift onto Medicare and raise premiums for current postal workers and retirees in some cases by as much as 35 percent. There is more to it, but that is the bulk of it. So I would hope that it would be passed. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Connecticut.
