I understand, Mr. Speaker, that we're ready to close, so I yield myself the balance of my time. In closing, Mr. Speaker, once again, at a time when there are so many Americans looking for work and so many middle class families struggling to make ends meet, Congress has better things to do than take up a redundant bill. It's wasteful, it's unnecessary, and it prevents us from doing the real work that our constituents have sent us here to do. Let's answer the important challenges facing the country. Let's start creating jobs for the American people. Let's start now, and let's stop wasting time on something that has already been satisfied. I yield back the balance of my time.

Thank you, George, for doing this. Thank you for honoring those of us that have been here and now are leaving. I arrived feeling very green and feeling very good 20 years ago. I had no idea how little I knew about how to get something done…
