Mr. Chairman, I rise to claim time in opposition to the amendment. The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman from West Virginia is recognized for 5 minutes.

Again, I voice my support for the amendment, and I yield back the balance of my time.

It's embarrassing that such an enormous undertaking doesn't have the leadership that it needs.
