I demand a recorded vote. The CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Texas will be postponed. {time} 1345 Amendment No. 5 Offered by Mr. Deutch The CHAIR. It is now in…

This bill is not funded. It is an authorization bill. It depends upon appropriation. There is no pay-for put forward. It is never going to be appropriated. It is going nowhere. At the very least, let's be honest with ourselves. Save that…

After days of a national media pounding the new Arizona immigration law and highlighting demonstrations against it, guess what? The number of Americans who describe illegal immigration as a serious problem actually increased; and 78…

I yield as much time as he may consume to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Barton).

This amendment is relatively simple in construct, but the issue is an important one. The issue is cost savings in our country. This amendment would strike the $12 million it has designated for advertising that will be paid for by the…

I have an amendment at the desk. The CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Amendment No. 4 offered by Mr. Burgess: Page 6, line 6, strike ``111'' and insert ``110''. Page 12, line 16…

I yield myself such time as I may consume. (Mr. BARTON of Texas asked and was given permission to revise and extend his remarks.)

We do oppose the manager's amendment, Madam Chair. It is a good-faith attempt to try to perfect some of the anomalies within it. It's fairly long-winded. It's fairly complicated, because when the government starts to intervene in the…

I have no further speakers on this amendment. I request a ``no'' vote. I yield back the balance of my time.

I yield myself such time as I may consume, subject to the 5-minute limitation. As always, Madam Chairwoman, I am deeply moved by my friend from Massachusetts' eloquent words. The problem is nothing he said really directly relates to the…

On that I demand the yeas and nays. The yeas and nays were ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 9 of rule XX, the Chair will reduce to 5 minutes the minimum time for any electronic vote on the question of passage. The vote…

May I inquire as to how much time I have remaining? The CHAIR. The gentleman from Texas has 2 minutes remaining, and the gentleman from Massachusetts also has 2 minutes remaining.

I yield myself 2 minutes. Well, my esteemed colleague from Massachusetts is at least talking about my amendment now. That's progress. He used the term ``black hole.'' I'm sure he knows, since scientists at MIT in his home State have…

I yield myself the final 30 seconds. Madam Chair, only my friend from Massachusetts could filibuster in a 5-minute time-limited debate. Those last comments, as far as I could tell and to the extent they were substantive, were absolutely…

I commend the Chair for her fairness in calling that last vote. I appreciate that sincerely. Madam Chair, I rise to claim time in opposition, although I am not opposed to the amendment. The CHAIR. Without objection, the gentleman from…

I thank the gentleman from Texas. I am not going to consume a lot of time. Madam Chair, I simply want to say this is a $12 million advertising campaign for free government money or loans at very low interest rates. Bees don't need…

In the spirit of trying to get Members who wish to catch 3 o'clock planes out of town by 3 o'clock, the minority is prepared to accept the Deutch amendment and would encourage the majority in the same spirit to limit their comments on the…
