I thank the gentleman from California for yielding. I note that we have only really had now two people speak in opposition to the bill out of the 40 minutes it has been on the floor, and that is just the reality of what we deal with here…

I thank the gentlewoman from Indiana for yielding. Mr. Speaker, my colleagues want to, as I said before, hide behind the Senate legislation to try to suggest that House Republicans are not addressing the issue. Well, everybody who has been…

That is right, like literally a year ago. I might just add on this chart, the gentleman refers to House Republicans last year, when we were trying to restore regular order and conservatives were working hard to do that and conservatives…

I thank the gentlewoman from Indiana for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I would note, as a point of clarification, the legislation on the floor, there are two main parts. The first part that the gentleman from Massachusetts was referring to did…
