Thanks, Mr. Chair.
Just to clarify, Mr. Dechert referred to a suite of amendments, three amendments, all of which would affect the definitions and therefore the scope of the new prohibition in the International River Improvements Act. The first of this suite of three would amend clause 13 of the bill, which is a part of the bill and I think would therefore be within the scope of the committee to look at. The second of the suite would amend clause 14, which again is within the scope of the committee's review. The third one, however, is the one that would amend section 7 of the act, which has not been amended by the bill, and therefore subject to your ruling and the consensus of the committee, it may be outside the scope of the committee's review.
I think the first two of the three are amendments to clauses that were introduced in the bill itself.
