Unfortunately. I am afraid the amendment overrules that minor revision in the Border Fence Act to which. frankly. I have to say to the Senator from Oklahoma. we had agreement from the leadership on both sides of the aisle in both Houses that we would take out that particular part. But the leadership changed. and we were not able to vote against and hold up the bill because it was the Defense supplemental bill to which that Border Fence Act was attached. To have held up the bill would have been to hold up our Defense supplemental. which of course overrode everything. That is why we waited to try to fix that minor part in this bill. which we have done and which would be undercut by the Coburn amendment.
