They say that hope springs eternal and that water will finally wear through even the hardest rock. While Senators were voting, I was discussing the words "situate" and "situated", and I discovered they are used interchangeably in other legislation. So I am prepared to accept the Senator's amendment, because he has been so good in pressing so many textual amendments, and it would not do any injury to the Bill to use it. As a tribute to the Senator's perseverance and to the fact that he stayed up all night looking at various thesauruses to find different words, I am prepared to accept the amendment and am pleased to do so.
