“I want to quickly refresh the memory of the Senator from North Carolina. I would not have entered into the time agreement had I known he wasn't listening when I debated the Snowe-DeWine arrangement where I clearly pointed out that it is not considered thereunder. I think this is a sticking point that the President would see as being very difficult. We are talking about companies such as Hewlett-Packard, Firestone, Motorola, Caterpillar, Pitney Bowes--big companies that are providing this. I have checked on the costs. Their costs will go up from $40 million to $70 million if the Snowe-DeWine amendment is the only defense they have.”
