Yes, it is me, and I do speak truth here, and I will acknowledge there is one Republican cosponsor of this bill. It is bipartisan in that regard. However, it could have had 100 or more Republican cosponsors if we would have actually done legislation. Instead, my gentle friend from Georgia just gets up and repeats trite statements about what Republicans want to do and what Republicans don't want to do. That is the problem we have right here. That is the problem, why we don't have legislation that actually works and will actually get signed and put into law. Remember, a bill that only comes through one part and cannot get through to get a President's signature is simply a political statement. That is what we are doing today. Madam Chair, I yield the balance of my time to the gentleman from North Dakota (Mr. Armstrong) so he may manage the remainder of the time.
