I urge adoption, and I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Tennessee (Mr. Ogles). The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the ayes appeared…

I guess that is Common Core math because attempting to block an increase isn't a cut. We are talking about $12 million off the current appropriations. That is a modest cut. By the way, the gas stoves, that was attempted through rulemaking…

I agree, and I think we all can agree that we want to keep consumers safe, but this is a modest $12 million cut to an agency that has gone beyond its purview. I live in a rural community. I live back in a valley on top of a hill, and on…
