Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that all Members may have 5 legislative days in which to revise and extend their remarks on H.R. 1911. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the gentleman from Minnesota? There…

Mr. Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my time. It's always interesting to listen to the debate here on the floor. No matter how hard we try to use the word ``bipartisan,'' we get into these partisan squabbles: the Republican bill was…

Mr. Speaker, I yield 4 minutes to the gentlewoman from North Carolina (Ms. Foxx), the chair of the Higher Education Subcommittee.

I would love to work with Senator Feinstein and, Mr. Litt, I would love if you would work with me to make sure we get the reporting requirements right as we move forward with the bill.
