Mr. Leader, the minority side has been talking about PAYGO rules and that somehow we have violated them. They sound very convincing. And as you know, the fiscally conservative Blue Dog Coalition are also strong supporters of the PAYGO rule, as are all members of our Democratic Caucus. This pay-as-you-go rule was an important step in restoring fiscal discipline in Congress. The Members of the Blue Dog Coalition believe it is important that the House comply with this rule. Can you explain how this bill complies with PAYGO and specifically, for the benefit of the Members on both sides, I ask, will the PAYGO rule that we established in January be fulfilled when the House completes action on the District of Columbia Voting Rights Act?
