I appreciate the gentlewoman's comments. Getting back to the amendment, I would remind the gentleman offering the amendment, A, that this is not the tax committee, that any $10 tax on a barrel of oil would come out of the Ways and Means Committee. I don't see that coming out of the Ways and Means Committee, but it is not included in this bill. The other thing that I would remind the gentleman of is there is no-- I repeat no--funding in this bill for the President's 21st Century Clean Transportation Plan, the mandatory funding that was proposed by the administration. There is no funding in this bill for it; so, this amendment does nothing. It strikes no funding because there is no funding in this bill. I thank the gentlewoman for yielding.
