00:00:00 TO MY FRIEND HAVING JUST HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW THIS LANGUAGE THE LAST 48 HOURS THAT I HAVE NO QUESTIONS ABOUT HIS INTENT, BUT I HAVE HEARD FROM PEOPLE WITH MUCH GREATER PERIOD OF TIME TEASE THAN I HAVE THAT -- PERIOD OF TIME TEASE TEASE -- PERIOD OF TIME EXPERTISE THAT THERE ARE QUESTIONS AND MAYBE THIS LANGUAGE IS APPROPRIATE AND WILL DO WHAT THE CHAIRMAN SAYS IT WILL DO BUT THAT'S WHY I THINK IT WOULD BE WELL WORTH OUR TIME TO TAKE A FURTHER LOOK AT WHAT IS INVOLVED IN THESE PROVISIONS.

Mr. UDALL of Colorado. What I would say to my friend is that just having had an opportunity to review this language in the last 48 hours, I have no question about his intent, but I have heard from people with much greater expertise than I have that there are questions that are still unanswered. Maybe this provision is appropriate and will do what the chairman says it will do. But, again, that is why I think it would be well worth our time to take a further look at what is involved in these provisions.
