I thank the gentlelady so much for yielding. You are allowing me to correct a grave mistake I made earlier today. I had the great pleasure of carrying the RSC budget to the floor today. We weren't able to succeed in passing our balanced budget, but we did succeed in passing the Budget Committee balanced budget. I think that is a great success for this House, but those successes don't happen by themselves. They happen because we are surrounded by staffers in this institution who do an amazing amount of work day in and day out. In my case, it is Will Dunham, who is the staff director at the Republican Study Committee; the very able budget staffer there, Matthew Dickerson; and my own budget associate, Nick Myrs. Without their help, it would have been impossible to put that budget together, and I am so grateful for their commitment to this institution and to the very difficult work that we do. With that, I thank my friend very much for yielding.

I believe that we are both, irrespective of who leads the Congress, irrespective of who leads the White House, we are all disadvantaged as Americans when Congress becomes feckless in its attempts to do oversight over the executive branch.

I appreciate my friend from Massachusetts yielding me the customary 30 minutes. Mr. Speaker, this may very well be the last rule I do down here on the floor of the House, and I was sad when Susan was reading from the rule because I have…
