Madam Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my time. In closing, let me say this. Bottom line, in the construction industry, important to every one of our States, registered apprenticeships trained about 28,000 people a year, where the need is over 440,000 people a year in construction. We need more flexibility. This amendment is flexible. It supports the American people. Madam Speaker, I urge a ``yes'' vote, and I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 85, the previous question is ordered on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Arkansas (Mr. Hill). The question is on the amendment. The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that the noes appear to have it.
