I would like to speak out of order for a moment just to thank the staff of the Budget Committee, Jim Bates, a very able staff that put together the bill. I also would like to thank so many of the leadership staff that do such good work around here and the committee staff that put all of this together. They did an excellent job and they deserve a lot of credit for that work. ____________________

We reserve to close. The Acting CHAIRMAN. The gentleman from South Carolina is recognized for 10 minutes.
I, ignorantly, said at one point in time in my career that CBO sucks, and I have been apologizing for that for some time because these are good people who do a good job.
But still no plan. But to close on our plan, Mr. Speaker, I yield the balance of my time to the distinguished gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Hastert), the Speaker of the House.
