On the recordFebruary 16, 2012
I thank the gentleman from Kansas. He's been an excellent addition to the newer Members coming here to Congress, an excellent addition. Among those who are having scheduling conflicts, unfortunately, is me. I have a committee that's meeting right now that's having a markup. We're having recorded votes on amendments and passage of bills out of committee, so I have to leave in just a moment. As much as I so badly wish I could finish up this discussion and hear the comments that have been moving to me so far, I have to depart. I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Under the Speaker's announced policy of January 5, 2011, the gentleman from California (Mr. Daniel E. Lungren) is recognized for the remainder of the hour as the designee of the majority leader. {time} 1900
