Mr. Rubin, if this bill were to be defeated--in fact, if it were to be amended--it would probably mean that the government would not proceed with it when it went back to the House. If that happens, or if this bill is defeated, we will be left with the status quo, which is a limit of $75 million. Is that situation better than passing a bill that raises the limit to $650 million?
