The gentleman from Washington I respect a great deal, but to say this is redundant of current law is just incorrect. The gentleman knows, and in fact told us, that the requirement he referred to is in regulations. Mr. Chairman, for anyone…

How much time do I have remaining? The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Florida has 2 minutes remaining.

There are lots of amendments that are controversial. Simply requiring that companies do what the regulations require them to do, which my colleague from Washington acknowledges that they are already required to do, but making it a part of…
