Mr. Andrews, let me interrupt.
I erred on that. I should have sought unanimous consent from the committee to agree to that change. Actually, Mr. Calkins is quite correct: there is no such thing as a “friendly amendment”. I apologize. The clerk has informed me that the decision could have gone to debate concerning the date, but we have moved beyond that.
So there is no such thing as a friendly amendment. Proceed on your motion to amend.
