I have two thoughts on this bill. This are more stylistic/ message
thoughts than big changes, so I don't think I would propose them as
amendments, but you could consider doing so, Liz.
1. I think it would read better if the second and third whereas
clauses were somehow combined.
2. I think adding a that clause to address the cuts not coming from
proposals in the report might be a nice touch.
The idea is great, Thanks for writing this bill.
