I can agree with this, Larry, but it does look pretty silly the way it is currently written. Like there was an extra *paste" or something. Has anyone really looked at the way it is stated? The second sentence is a repeat of the first. Is there a way to just wipe out the second sentence? Or does the motion have to be re-stated, correctly?
