This amendment is also supported by the National Association of Attorneys General. I would like to read from the attorneys general letter of support. This is an excerpt. The Attorneys General believe that the Secretary lacks any statutory…

I am kind of fascinated that on our desks, every day throughout the session, we get a copy of whatever bill is being debated, even if it is the same one being debated the day before; and if we take it back to our office, another one…
