“let me say that, first of all, the argument is the Committee on Rules. My colleagues point to the fact that the Committee on Rules did it again. That is what they are really saying. But I do not think that my colleagues should forget about what we are dealing with here. We are talking about two things, domestic violence and redomestication. I think that these issues are very, very important. Also, I want to talk about the fact that insurance, the last time I heard, was under the jurisdiction of the Committee on Commerce. I mean, unless something changed over the last 24 hours, the Committee on Commerce had jurisdiction over insurance. So, therefore, I think that the Committee on Commerce here really has a lot to say about this issue. I think that the other thing that I would like to just sort of talk about, mutual insurance companies would be placed at a severe disadvantage in terms of raising capital. I think that capital is very, very important. This amendment corrects that. I think that we need to make certain that that is done. I think that is important that we do that. Let me say to my colleagues that I think this is a good amendment, and I urge support of it.”
