I want to commend the gentleman. I hope other Members who are watching this tonight will look at this amendment that the gentleman from Iowa offered last evening. There are over 300 organizations. And what the gentleman has said here is why the gentleman from North Carolina and I so vehemently opposed this amendment. This is guilt by association; there is no question about it. These various groups, some of which were just mentioned in the media, the author of this amendment said repeatedly when asked about some of these groups by Mr. Price: I have no facts; I have no information. The Government Oversight Committee put together this list and we added some more names that we found in the media. And he couldn't describe one of these groups that had had a problem. So I hope that the Members will carefully look at this list. The CHAIR. The time of the gentleman from Minnesota has expired. (On request of Mr. Dicks, and by unanimous consent, Mr. Ellison was allowed to proceed for 1 additional minute.)
