If it's going to come back to this committee or any committee, I would suggest--and this is our policy now--that any time there is prescribed legislation, at least in areas we're concerned about, we're going to ask for that particular amendment. We believe the security and safety of the public rests with all of you in the House and the Senate. It doesn't rest with advisory councils, teamsters, trucking companies, and everybody else. We might have great ideas in the backrooms, they might seem like good ideas, but I think at the end of the day you have to have the right to take a look at it.
