“Mr. Speaker, I would remind everybody that every time my colleagues across the way rise, they rise to oppose legislation that would get in the way of those getting in our way of bringing Americans home. That is what they are standing against. That is what they are rising against. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from California (Mr. McClintock). Mr. McCLINTOCK.

I wholeheartedly support this bill, sanctioning anyone who gives it aid and comfort in pursuing its twisted agenda. Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.”
