Mahsi, Mr. Chairman. I would like to make an amendment to the amendment. The amendment I propose is that under part (a) we remove the word "three" and add "six." And that we change "1,000 cigarettes" to "400 cigarettes", we change "250 cigars" to "100 cigars" and "2,000 grams of any other form of tobacco" to "800 grams of any other form of tobacco."

I would like to amend section (b) with the same numbers, changing "1,000 cigarettes" to "400 cigarettes," "250 cigars" to "100 cigars" and "2,000 grams of any other form of tobacco" to "800 grams of any other form of tobacco."
