It is particularly ironic that the gentleman is touting the bipartisan amendments. It is one of those bipartisan amendments that adds women in the Selective Service that is stripped out of the HASC bill, of the committee's bill right here in this rule, through a self-executing amendment. So this rule, if it were to pass--and I hope it doesn't. I hope my colleagues on both sides of the aisle vote ``no.'' This rule undoes one of those very bipartisan amendments that the gentleman is touting. I yield 2\1/2\ minutes to the gentleman from Vermont (Mr. Welch).
