Senator, we know why you are keeping the committee stage going; it is because you want to filibuster this bill. It has nothing to do with any of the specifics of your question. I restate: there is a requirement under this bill for a minimum of five voyages. A shipper may apply for any number above five and may apply for that at any time throughout the year.
