Am pleased to offer unlimited 233 i have been asked to make it clear right from the nature of this amendment, it is to try and follow the advice of about every witness that testified in this room about how to stabilize the change. The three things we should do is make clear that these costsharing reductions would offset copays and deductibles. That was one thing. Number two they said to put in place a Reinsurance Program. A look at patient care. Number three they said we should retain the individual mandate, if we decide not to have something that is just as effective in getting young and Healthy People part of the insurance pool across the country. The legislation before this repeals or proposes to reveal the individual mandate. If that actually happens we will have a costsharing reduction. With having a tree like a stool, that is what it has been called by Health Insurance folks and providers. They all called for that three stool approach to reduce the cost of the exchange. Chairman,nt mr. Colleagues, focuses on reinsurance. A decade were around or so ago when we debated and voted on Medicaid Program establishing a drug program, Prescription Program within medicare, voted for a Reinsurance Program. Some of the folks will be and de pool under medicaid part they were really expensive. There needed to be a Reinsurance Program to make it work. We did that. ,edicare part d works very well it comes in almost every year under budget and has favorable ratings. Approval ratings that was exceed any of us in this room, 80 or 90 . Here is the way that would work. My proposal my amendment would create a pool that we call a stability fund. Stability fund of about 120 billion. The states could use that find to drive down to have the resources they need to set up a and visible high risk pool. A lot of our colleagues have said they need a better idea. Not toates that a lack do that, there would be a backstop. Here is how that would work did let me finish. And 2020nd 18, 2019, there would be a Reinsurance Program that sent four states that did not set up the invisible goals here is how it would work. Cost for a years betweenal in a year 50,000 and 500,000, 80 of the cost would be borne by the stability fund. Between 2021, 2022 and 2023 80 of the costs between those three years is between 100,000. The rest would be borne by the insurance company. All of that would be borne by the Insurance Companies. But we have heard with testimony in this room two months ago, by setting up a Reinsurance Program and giving the states the ability to have their own in invisible find along with preserving csrs and along with preserving the individual mandate or is something as effective. The cost of premiums and exchanges would be brought down by as much as 35 area the reason why is because Insurance Companies would get into the game. They would compete for business in the marketplace in the states where there is a lot of competition and their exchanges, what is happened is that they are not looking at 30 , 40 , 50 areease in premiums you looking at singledigit increases because of the competition. Again, colleagues, we know need to make it clear that they will not lose their shirts. We are not interested in offering them welfare. We want to make sure they the beauty of the program is that it does not think gives the state opportunities to set up their own high risk pool. We are all interested in a federal state partnership. This is a good example how how that may be done. I would ask my colleagues to consider it. If we are serious about stabilizing the exchange we need to do those three things. Ist the Reinsurance Program practical and the third thing would be to make clear the individual mandate is going to go away, what more would be effective in helping people participate. That is what we need to do that my amendment takes care of one of those. It is not within the scope of the hill. Would you like to say it is a good idea . I am not going to go that far. Everythinglways like to do. Gradually today there was a backandforth about what they said or did not say, we reach out to his office and we will be talking to him later tonight. Him aboutuote from what his words were this year about what he had to say. Understand but it is not part of this amendment. I dont know if it is still timely, i would like to deal the role of the chair on the amendment i just offered. I appeal the ruling of the chair if that is family . Some of myra republican colleagues are chafing and theyre anxious to get into the game. They all want to be cosponsors. Most of them. [roll call] amendment is defeated. I would ask consent that senator stabenow is a cosponsor. This would set back the corporate reductions if the secretary of treasury cannot certify that the coverage for Mental Health and Substance Abuse and Health Insurance coverage has not been diminished. The concern here to my colleagues is that we have the resources to deal with the Opioid Crisis that is affecting every community in our country. My concern is that, if you look at the underlining bill, the cbo has scored it in a joint Tax Committee at a 1. 5 trillion addition to the national debt. My concern is that we know the casualties from the Opioid Crisis. We know we need to have the resources in order to deal with it. We know that there has been an abuse of opioids in every community that has led to heroin addiction. Unfortunately, the use of fentanyl, which has caused significant overdoses and all of our communities. I have had town meetings and roundtable discussion in western maryland, eastern shore, cecil county, southern maryland, the baltimorewashington suburbs. The story is the same, a rise in the increase in the opioid addiction. We do know that having Mental Health and Substance Abuse coverage is critically important in dealing with this crisis. I would think all of us would make sure that we do maintain a coverage in dealing with this Opioid Crisis. That is the purpose of this amendment, to make sure we have coverage. I will ask consent that the Psychological Association as part of a record. I think this spells the issues we are concerned about, american Psychological Association and the American Association of organizations with a strong opposition to repealing the Health Insurance coverage mandate as part as the tax reform legislation. Strong, stable markets are finally important for the members and to millions of americans with Mental Health and Substance Use disorders organizations comprise newly 115,700 members and affiliates, technicians, researchers, educators, consultants, students. The reason is that in order to deal with the oprah crisis, we need to have coverage. I was listening to senator toomey as he talked about that nothing in this bill takes people off of medicaid or Health Insurance. I would point out to my colleagues that the joint Tax Committee has confirmed that 180 billion is saved in eliminating the mandate from the Medicaid Program and is spent in the chairmans mark because of will not be spent in medicaid and people who were covered under medicaid will not be covered. Let me remind my colleagues that medicaid includes Mental Health and addiction coverage. That could very well be lost. That is half the story. A 100 billion saved for subsidies not provided under the formal care act. That is spent by tax expenditures in the chairmans mark. That 180 billion of savings that is spent in the chairmans mark and added to the deficit means that there will be 13 Million People with medicaid and the formal care act that will not be covered Affordable Care act that will not be covered by Health Insurance, that will lose their Mental Health and addiction coverage under their Health Insurance policy. As pointed out by the american Psychological Association, many people, because of the 10 increase in insurance premiums under the individual marketplace will be priced out of coverage and not be able to get Mental Health and addiction coverage. For all of those reasons, we need to make sure we have the capacity to deal with the Opioid Crisis as a result of the underlining bill. My amendment will make sure that we have some resources available, if the secretary oftreasury cannot certify that we have maintained at least the current coverage for Mental Health and addiction. I would urge my colleagues to support the amendment. We agreed to 10 minutes equally divided, five minutes for each site and you used 4. 5 minutes and senator mccaskill was it you or senator mccaskill . Senator mccaskill, i call on you but please keep it short. I would like to speak. Wait. We will yield our time. I do not mind giving additional time but lets not take advantage of it because we agreed to 10 minutes. Your five minutes have long been gone. Lets go to senator mccaskill. I will not do that on every vote. I want to make sure that the irony is set out loud. At the same time my colleagues want to say that the individual mandate fails, nobody comes to get insurance because of the individual mandate. But you will spend the money that cbo says will be generated because of people who are not coming to the marketplace. In other words, what you say does not work. And therefore it is ok to get rid of it. We say, wait a minute, it works pretty well because it will be 180 we will not have to spend in medicated because people will not sign up for medicaid because they do not have to anymore. We will save 185 billion in a ca subsidies aca because they will not sign up anymore because they do not have to. What you say that does not work, you cannot wait to spend the money because cbo says it does work. Just a minute or two. Senator brown wants time . Lets let me say this. The bill which includes all of the insurance mandate and essential health benefits. One of obamacare written in the Public Health service act. Not the Internal Revenue code. This amendment is not germane. I cannot allow 10 minutes for every nongermane amendment. I will do it in this case. Senator stabenow. I will be reasonable , lets acknowledge that this is asking a lot. Appreciaterman, i this. What we are doing is going to impact millions upon millions upon millions of people. It is very serious. Discussion and debate will impact the entire economy of our country. That theto add congressman did a wonderful job and i am happy to cosponsor this did one out of four americans will be doing with Mental Illness sometime in their life. This is a critical issue for our veterans returning home who have served and to keep our country safe. The opioid addiction issue is touch with every community i know. I think it is a urgent we take its and and say we will not allow people to lose critical services. Chairman, i, mr. Think about the opioid in my state, i think about a man sitting with his daughter in he said if it was not for medicaid his daughter would not be alive. There are 200,000 people in my state who have been getting opioid treatment. We need to put a human face on these. Mr. Chairman . If i may be heard on that. Since this amends the Internal Revenue code it is not amending the health code. You have drafted the amendment consistent with your instructions and i would urge the chair to be fair the this amends the irs code. It does not amount to health code. Can i ask the reason why it would be nongermane . How do younongermane amend the code to deal with Health Care Issues on mandatory coverage . Lets have some fairness here . Lets put it to a vote. I am asking what the chairs role is. Even if it is nongermane lets vote. What are we voting . [roll call] as the amendment was defeated. As it is being distributed i just want to respond to my colleague from ohio who said this was really fundamental tax reform. The fact is this is taking us backwards. We are going back to the world of crazy wealth which we learned is that there are all kinds of provisions that have all caps of potential interactions did it is a retreat from what we did on 2015 at a bipartisan basis which we made important changes that old both sides felt strongly about. Was fundamental tax reform. That what we have been told we are actually going backward to the world of tax extenders. At employment for lobbyists. The tax oft is hrone as reported by the House Committee on rules. I am sure people are not surprised that i am not a fan of this proposal. Byh the same basic approach the senate bill, it is my reason that we are offering this amendment that it is important to understand the support here in the senate on what the full house is about to vote on. Speakolleagues want to and i will ask for the us and no vote. I think it is important to understand the level of importance on what the house is about to vote on with this issue of tax reform. This amendment serves no purpose, i understand it. Strike the mark and substitute it with language of this tax reform bill. The house has not even pass this. It is in chambers for a reason. The house is moving forward with their proposal and we are working on our spirit we will likely have to on some differences. Will voteepublicans against this because we are taking our own course. Are generally supportive of of what they are doing over there. We continue to charter our own course. I would hope the Ranking Member with you that, we are happy to vote no. I went to exploit your colleagues exactly why i am offering this. I have given this some thought. The public is not going to get any time to see what Congressional Republicans cash out in secret discussions between the house and the senate if they manage to pass this bill. Because the public is really not going to get a chance to see where Congressional Republicans come down because of all the secrecy we have seen. There is going to be more of the same the conference. I think this is important, being on record. This is not something i offer lightly, i dont think the public will see what the republicans had shot. We understand that and respect that. My time is not up. You do not have 10 minutes on this, you only have five. There were six minutes left. He has one minute, thank you. I urge my colleagues to vote no for a simple reason. Cutnt think you want to Renewable Energy credits. If you are ready to say you dont want wind in texas or iowa or when did Washington State fine, go ahead and so ordered this proposal. Want to cut 12 million out of Renewable Energy. I also dont want to eliminate private activity bonds. It will cause one million fewer a housing units. Thised to show our calix is a unacceptable approach to the Affordable Housing crisis. I urge my colleagues to vote no. Go viral. Call] thank you, mr. Chairman. I would like to call up amendment 15. The of my colleagues on Health Committee on finance committee, but i know about our Health Care System is that it a long worked well for time before the Affordable Care act was passed. Since it was passed it was not working well for small towns across colorado and this country. Low andetition is prices are high, deductibles are high. Public usedlittle to our families. Four years they have this incredibly legitimate concern about health care. We should have listened to them and come together to address the issue for rural america. We should have repealed the Affordable Care act and replaced it with proposals to health care for millions of americans and provide tax cuts for those making millions in income. All your we had tax cuts masquerading as a Health Care Plan. Now we have a Health Care Plan masquerading as a tax bill. The plan to the cbo would force 30 million americans to lose coverage and would raise premiums to percent on the individual market. Told that it is going to lead to 25 million in medicare cuts. This is the opposite of what we need from world colorado. There is not enough coverage. Rates have gone up, there is not enough coverage. My a memo provides a backstop for Rural Communities in my state and the country, rural areas lose coverage and receive premium hikes as a result of this land which is predicted by those that have looked at this plan. I think that if the majority is so confident in the merits of their proposal as they are with deficit reduction patient support this amendment and provide peace of mind to smalltown colorado and the country. Passing this bill are going to be felt hardest in areas where there is little competition already. Where people have a hard time avoiding insurance and where they have Health Insurance. That is ultraliberal colorado through the country. I urge a yes vote. Have to rule this venture make. It is out of the scope of this bill. Argue with all respect to your ruling, i would argue that it is very much inside the scope of the bill because this will drive up insurance prices. It is nongermane. It means a lot to me personally. Colleagues, this would be amendment to 28. It deals with veterans. Panel are us on this veterans. I served in reserve duty. One of my favorite day of the year is veterans day. Homet all of us were back thenbly on friday and saturday we know those of us who served that it is the 11 month of the year and the 11th day. That i spokeings with back in delaware as we went around the state is talking about the benefits that we when i went there back in 1973. With the v. A. Health care, at the time we had 250 per month. Today receivedme a bill and they want to go to a state university. Folks paid for tuition. Then they get a Housing Allowance. Looking around seen if we have anybody there . The Housing Allowance for 36 a housingterans allowance and idaho of 1100 per month in i dont know about you but that is a fair amount of money. Delaware, the Housing Allowance is 2100. If we have anybody from new york state that is 4000 per month. For three years that is a great benefit. Had a got to delaware we Veterans Hospital that was it relic of a hospital. Not great quality care. Clinics orutpatient veteran homes. At that world war ii relic of a hospital it is regarded the best place for health care delivery. We now have Outpatient Clinics in every county of delaware. I suspect we are the only state in the country that can make that claim. Gets theireteran Health Care Coverage through the v. A. Of people get their coverage through medicaid. About 2 million veterans. As it turns out when the Affordable Care act went into of fact there were veterans who have had this decrease. I will say this the number of working veterans who are uninsured has decreased not by just a couple Percentage Points but by 42 . They are expanded medicaid. Mr. Chairman and colleagues, the amendment that is before us what a chore that veterans can see a reduction in access to their health care as a result of this bill. Let me say that again. Nos memo would ensure that veterans for their families would see a reduction in access to their health care as a result of this bill. I must have heard what hundred days last week on veterans i must have heard people thinking one another for this service. Thanks for my service i have think a lot of veterans. How do we make real those words . How do we know for sure we mean that read i think one of the way we can do is dedicating this stipulation that no veteran or their families will see a reduction in access to health care as a result of this bill. I think everybody in this committee in this room, has a obligation to honor our nations veterans to not increase costs and take away the care and benefits of they deserve. Your time is up. Recognizing our veterans i am one of the 14 people who were honored last week. That was leading up to veterans day, as the chair of the Veterans Department we passed 78 bells to reform Veterans Health joint session in the house. This will be marked up when we expect to give choice eligibility and that is part of the resistance for our veterans. The credit to the veterans and i share the comment complement. Goingterans committee is to see that every veteran gets the benefits that they were promised when they signed up. Everybody in this room has been a part of that. I want the Veterans Committee to do what they have done. To see the expansion of this and have Affordable Health care. No further comment, call the role. Can i have 30 seconds to respond . I am not familiar with the legislation. We dont serve on this committee. We are all concerned with the legislation that we dont affect what is going on. Republicans get their health care on the exchange. Make this clear that we do not allow any think we are doing to reduce the access to health care. That is what im try to say. The clerk will call the role. Call] the amendment is defeated. Turning onto casey 126. Mr. Chairman, it is pretty simple. We heard about the process that billlikely unfold if this moves to the committee. It will look to the finance committee and then the house will work on their bill. Should this go to conference it requires a open hearing on any measure with the revenue or budget impact greater than 1 billion. I dont think that is asking too much for openness and transparency so that taxpayers rushed process leading up to the finance argued itwhich i have is moving too fast. Driveby tax bill and said of being subjected to the number of hearings that the Ranking Member referred to wherer in the mid 80s president reagan have 490 page andosal that 27 hearings the house bill got six hearings. There was a lot more of you and scrutiny. Old expression, we do not have a love of transparency and this process there will be a lot of suspicion is. I hope we get a yes vote on that on them. Mr. Chairman . Like i have never been in a Markup Committee before. Had homeland, i have never all the republican amendments sit on the bill the night before and all the democratic amendments or even one party made that way. Sure why they have to be voted on if there is a different set of rules for one party or another, i am also curious because we are being told maybe you can confirm this week it is going to be conferenced next week. Andhouse is going to vote get their builds on and you are going to conference next week similar to how it was drafted when none of us were around. Nobody was allowed to give input. There is going to be a conference next week, the only bill we will vote on is one that has a been agreed to by the house. That is why i think this is so important. If we could do the somewhere close to regular order. You need to know we took a number of democratic amendments that is what we did. The clerk will call the role. [roll call] just one question wait until the vote is announced. The amendment is defeated. Question, weck have been defeated and to have a real Conference Committee and hearings, i would hope the fact that the entire committee voted against the house bill would be what the majority would take into the Conference Committee because thats a pretty strong message to the house. Thank you. Thank you. For round ready number 24, i believe. You, mr. Chairman. Thank you for the recognition. Brown, number 24, moving expenses. This amendment fixes a problem that i bet you everyone in this room has spoken out against at some point in their careers in their states. This if someone shuts down production in ohio and wants to move to lima, peru or sits down in ohio and wants to move to russia, they get a tax break to make that move. But if you are living in cleveland and you move to salt job, you cant deduct the cost of your own move. This fixes to problems. Youone, fixes inequity if move to take a job. The other thing it does is say why should win Courage Companies to move overseas . It has become too often the Business Plan for too Many Companies to shut down production in, you know, Washington State or michigan, and move overseas, deduct the cost of the move, and sell the product back in the United States. This amendment will fix that. We should do something about this mr. Chairman. Because so many people have spoken out about it for so long, i would ask the chairman to accept this amendment. Any other comments. Senator brown senator crapo looks very supportive. I see that look often in Banking Committee when we look together. Chairman, one minute, if i may. Things, mr. Chairman. I could not agree more with senator brown. There is another way, too. The other is to bring back home act. We as taxpayers pay for the move right now. You might lose your job, past things up, and as a taxpayer you pay for the move and ural community does. What senator brown is talking about is an entire inequity where we are paying for jobs being moved overseas, but if someone is moving from columbus columbus, ohio four new job they cant deduct it. That just seems absurd. Thank you. Thank you. The clerk will call the roll. [roll call] the clerk will announce the vote. Mr. Chairman, the tally is brown number five, patriot employers. Some of you were at the white house i think all of the republicans were at the white house. Only a few of the democrats were invited to meet with the president in the cabinet room. He asked for his ideas. I will give one of them. This is the patriot employers act. If a company does the right thing, pays good wages, provides decent benefits, but keeps production in the United States, it gets a tax benefit. Grassley. Nator i know the president said he wants to help Companies Stay in this country and punished those companies that move and reward those companies that stay. You heard the republicans and a few democrats at the white house. You heard the president say that the idea. I would close with this. I live in cleveland, ohio, zip 0405. 4 my zip code had more foreclosures than any zip code in the United States that was less about wall street, which i point out is often the case, but more about declining manufacturing jobs. I go a quartermile from my home and i see the devastation created by factory closings. One of the ways to fix this is the patriot employer act. I would hope this committee would agree with this president , his promises, his forms magazine article, his comments to me in the cabinet room and i was i would like to just ask the chairman to accept this amendment. In your amendment what is the score and the upset. Senator brown we will get that to you. I have not seen a score on much of anything in this committee on this hell. If it is not germane the clerk will call the roll. [roll call] senator brown well, you started the role. You started the roll. Anator grassley with emphatic no. The chairman has emphatic the chairman of the right to do that. Do you want to appeal it . Senator brown its actually the tax code. [roll call] the clerk will report the results. Nays. Yes, 13 chairman mr. Warner we did not call proxies, did we . Proxy no proxies were called. Proxies were not allowed . Not the rule of the chair. I do not like that we say that what senator brown said was not germane to cause he sought to amend the Internal Revenue he hasrying to been trying to get a revenue estimate for quite some time, as i understand it. Chairman, you have not given us a long time to consider this bill. For you to penalize us because we do not have any time to get any kind of documentation and you have changed the bill every day. First was last thursday, then it changed, then it got more specific, than it changed again, then you changed at midnight this is a farce, mr. Chairman, to say we did not have a score because i did not move fast enough when we are trying to get this overworked staff, who you put all of this work on in such a short time because you come because Mitch Mcconnell give you and youificial deadline want to jam is . I love this committee, but its hard to love tonight. Grassleyatch senator let him offer his amendment, the last one for tonight. Is that myssley amendment. I have a parliamentary question. Senator hatch yes, sir. I do not know whether to ask you or senator wyden. Both of you lead this committee. Is it our desire to finish on thursday or saturday . Hatch id like to finish tomorrow. Senator grassley do you think we can . Senator brown we are raising substantive issues senator wyden we are raising substantive issues. We want answers and want to be able to offer real amendments. I think sen. Brown last amendment was germane because it will amend the Internal Revenue code. Be here we are going to a while because my colleagues want to raise substantive, serious issues the American People deserve because this could be one of the few opportunities to talk tax policy in the sunshine. Am concerned it is all secret. We have serious questions to talk about and we will talk about them tomorrow. Friday and saturday . Senator wyden we will go late tomorrow and we will take it a day at a time. Intoor hatch we may go friday and saturday. But me just say it, that is your right. It is your right. But theres a limit to everything. I think its pretty apparent where we are. Brown has anor amendment. We will turn to senator brown for his amendment on opioids, i believe. Brown this is amendment number 11. Like many senators here tonight, my state has been devastated by opioids. Tragically, more people have died in ohio of overdose in any state in the country. We will lose 11 ohioans to this epidemic by the end of the day. More funding is needed to address the situation. The senate has acted. The house has acted. Moneye not put much behind our actions. We also played defense when people were trying to cut medicaid. I stand with governor kasich. Hes a republican. A mid to regret. I stand with him on defending the cuts to medicaid that would have hurt people getting treatment for open rates today because they have the aca. This bill makes it harder for people to donate money to charitable institutions. Surely that is something we can support, mr. Chairman. Senator hatch thank you. Any rebuttal or comments . The clerk will call the role. If you want to Say Something, i will be happy to take it down. Chest no. Lets have the vote. No. Lets of the vote. Chairman, i would do Say Something about the opioid senator hatch about this amendment . I will he happy to recognize you in advance of the amendment. Thank you. Senator hatch go ahead. Each of our states of the terrible problem with opioids. Did you know that a pregnant transferspioids, she the dependency to the unborn child and when born, that child has the dependency not an addiction, a dependency on opioids, and the only way to get is 30ff in the hospital to 60 days on morphine . Thats the only way to get a this dependence. Therefore i certainly support the senators amendment. The clerk will call the roll. [roll call] senator hatch the clerk will announce the tally. 2 ayes, 14 nays. Senator hatch let me say, people are tired. Emotions are running high. This is not going to work if we are not respectful of each others time to speak in our right to express our views. Things got unruly here a few times, and thats inappropriate. I think all of you know i want to be fair and i will be fair and i will be accommodating to but i want this committee to function as well. Tomorrow we will start again at 10 a. M. We will continue with amendments and as long as the debate remains productive i am ready to go into friday to consider more amendments. I just want to say how much i appreciate anyone on this committee. We all feel aggrieved in some ways by some of these problems people on bothut sides are very sincere and deserve to be considered as sincere. Let me turn to senator wyden to that point, mr. Chairman, what is the process for my within an probably hour of that marketing filed filed in amendment and got rolled out of order because he did not have one. What do we do about that in this process here so that we can hatch were not going close the process down that people have not been able to get scores who could have asked for a long time ago. Senator cantwell mr. Chairman i think sen. Brown does quickly as he could with the information that he had on hand. The senator brown we asked for the score on thursday. Before we could see the ill. It is asking too much of the staff. They are all working hard. They can get everything done. Because we are rushing this through, mr. Chairman, without any i have heard a number of 1986. Leagues talk about in 1986 they went through regular order. They had discussions, they had hearings, had lots of time to do it. There is been no effort like that here and look what we are going to end up with. This bill is written in a back room with a bunch of lobbyists and wall street. The American Public is not going to understand it. Members of congress are not going to senator hatch this is not 1986, nor have we had the cooperation that they had then. We have to move forward. And frankly, we will move ahead tomorrow. Its just that simple. Chairman, as mr. We wrap up, i want to make it clear we reject on our side the idea that you cannot have a partisanship from the victim bipartisanship from the very beginning. If i can just a said we want to work in bipartisan way. We laid out principles, and by 2015ay, i just referenced and everybody said oh, its just me to be a bunch of extenders. What we said was both sides ought to come together to work for sensible policy that in effect will lay the foundation for arguing bipartisan tax reform now, but we have shown the last couple of years, and you remember that, nobody thought we could get a bill with sensible policies on both sides. It was not about taking each. Thers crummy ideas it was bipartisanship. Brown you made as cochairs. I appreciate that. When we were charged to do a proposal on savings and investment was the beginning of our working relationship. Put that aside, we came back was very specific and it not earthshaking, but very specific proposals. We gave it back to you, mr. Chairman. We have never seen any movement on that. That could have been the seed of a bipartisan effort where we would have had bipartisan legislation, bipartisan language. But we have heard nothing from you since then. We have tried to be bipartisan, mr. Chairman. Sen. Hatch i understand the senators argument. Its time to go to bed. Toator hatch it is time recess. Frankly, i hope everybody overnight well called them. We have been opened to amendments. Frankly, i dont think anybody has been hurt i this process. We will recess until tomorrow at 10 00. Senator wyden im gone. Im calm. [captioning performed by the national captioning institute, which is responsible for its caption content and accuracy. Visit ncicap.
