We have an amendment. In the next-to-last section, after “clause-by-clause consideration”, we would like to add: “except that additional amendments may be made during the session in progress”. Everyone understands that, when we get to clause-by-clause consideration and amendments are proposed, it is quite possible for us to have sudden flashes of inspiration, since the material we are working on is right in front of us. We do not want to prevent spontaneous amendments from being made during a meeting of the committee.
On October 30th, 2007. See this statement in context.
