Thank you very much for yielding. I certainly won't object to this unanimous consent request, but I do want to point out that we here in Washington ought to be doing our job. We have our Nation's urgent priorities. We need to increase jobs, strengthen our economy, prevent the fiscal cliff, protect Medicare from cuts, address our long-term debt. We should be fighting for the middle class, not preserving tax breaks for oil companies and millionaires. We are out of session for this campaign at the earliest time ever, and for that reason--but I will not object. I thank the gentleman for yielding.
