How offensive. How offensive that argument, particularly when you look at the Department of Labor. Hardly a bastion in regards to the corruptness, at least in this administration. Amazing. Amazing that jobs that we see the empowerment of people, taking them away from the victims, victimhood, that Democrats so desperately need, particularly, the Native Americans who are empowered right here with the money and the jobs to lift them out from the poverty that they actually see. Amazing. Absolutely amazing. So it seems to me that when you start looking at this application in consultation with the Department of Labor, makes a big, big difference. Now, when you look at this, American oil and gas production is nearly responsible for 10 million jobs. That is a huge amount of sector. And we discussed earlier that 90 percent of these jobs in this sector are going to women and minorities. That is a fabulous number. That is the American Dream. This is a commonsense application that Congress has got to get used to to understand the ramifications, the true ramifications of our intent. Mr. Chair, I ask everybody to vote for this amendment, and I yield back the balance of my time.
