I mean, besides lowering the amount and shortening the timetable? Did he agree to take out the closing of the tax loophole for off-shore businesses (at the behest of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce)? I didn't find the details in the NYT today...just wondering...

instead of the 30 to 40% they usually earn.
At least that's what I heard Kyl crowing about on radio here in Phoenix.
