I urge my colleagues to vote ``no'' and defeat the previous question so we can focus this body on Zika and the public health risk to the American people, to vote ``no'' on the rule, to vote ``no'' on the underlying bills, but, frankly, to move forward with the door having been opened for this discussion and this coalition between left and right on a carbon tax cut proposal. Let's take advantage of that door being opened a crack, and let this be the start of something really great and the start of something really special that can help launch the next decade and more of stronger, pro-growth economic policies letting American families keep more of their hard- earned income and encouraging American companies to stay put rather than move overseas. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
