Mr. President, again I ask my colleagues to vote ``no.'' Tax reform must be handled by the tax committee. Putting it in the budget does not help move the process forward. There are a number of questions the committee needs to address: What does it mean, corporate compensation in excess of $1 million? Does that include or exclude health care? Does this include baseball players and actors and actresses as well? What are we talking about with limiting compensation? Can you limit compensation for people by a Federal law? If they have earned more than that, what about people who are operating under contract? I urge my colleagues to vote ``no'' on this amendment. It will be handled in the tax committee when we consider tax reform. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The question is on agreeing to the amendment.
