On the recordFebruary 6, 2014
Mr. Chairman, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Let me congratulate the chairman on the Seahawks, and also remind him that there was a long 16-game season. They won their division. They played San Francisco three times, two out of three, and then after that they went into the playoffs. Then after the playoffs, they went to the championship game and, finally, to the Superbowl, which they won. Congratulations. So it is great that you got that cap 1 minute after the game was over. I am pointing out that there was a long, deliberate process with rules, games to be won, that encompassed the whole season. Sometimes us rushing legislation is cutting corners that great championship teams like the Seahawks never do. Mr. Chairman, I yield 5 minutes to the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Cartwright), my colleague. I will have more to say on the specifics of this legislation later.
