I yield myself 30 seconds and then the balance of the time to the majority leader. In a word, the minority objects when we pay for jobs bills after years of their creating deficits. They object when there is an emergency under statutory PAYGO and we provide for unemployment comp. So in a word or a few words, they project nothing either constructive or positive. Mr. Speaker, I end on both a constructive and positive note by yielding the balance of my time to our distinguished majority leader. (Mr. HOYER asked and was given permission to revise and extend his remarks.)
