Nobody can control what they're doing. But this language simply makes it neutral, and that's what I'm trying to correct here. I yield back the balance of my time. Mr. LaTOURETTE. I move to strike the last word. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Ohio is recognized for 5 minutes. Mr. LaTOURETTE. Mr. Chairman, I hadn't planned on speaking on this amendment--there are plenty of other voices to do it--but I argued against this amendment in committee. I repeatedly argue against this amendment. I really don't know why we have to repeat this exercise, other than it won by one vote the other time, and we're going to correct that mistake tonight, I will tell you. But the author of the amendment--the amendment is a wolf in sheep's clothing in that the gentleman offering the amendment isn't in favor of project labor agreements. As a matter of fact, all the people who have spoken---- Are you in favor of project labor agreements? I don't want to slight you if you are. I yield to the gentleman.
