I thought the rule and the bill, in fact, were rushed to the floor and didn't follow regular order. I am here today to tell you that I am going to vote for this conference report. As a member of the Science Committee, and as a conferee, I am very proud of the work that has come through the Science Committee. I commend Chairman Gordon. I think we do great work on the Science Committee. Now, I typically associate myself with the more conservative, fiscally conservative members of the Republican conference. I know that some of my colleagues are going to vote against this conference report because they are concerned with the level of authorized spending, and they are maybe going to be a little surprised that I am voting in favor of it.
