I agree with the thrust of the comments of the author of the amendment and the previous speaker in that it improves the bill. I am concerned about one summary of the gentlemans amendment and would ask the gentleman to clarify it for me. That summary says that in addition to what we have already described here. the amendment amends H.R. 1510 so that employers will only be cited if they knowingly hire or retain undocumented aliens. rather than for the unknowing act of hiring or retaining such alien. I had been under the assumption that the bill that was before us was restricted to a knowing standard.
