Again, I'm going to ask the clerk, and I would suggest that you did not ask legal counsel directly for this response; you asked a drafter for his opinion, and that's what we have in front of us. We do not have the words of two legal counsel members. We have the word of the drafter of the amendment, who suggests that he believes it is in order. Those are not their words, but his.
