I want to thank the gentlewoman from Wisconsin for yielding. I rise in strong support of her opposition to this amendment. I rise in strong support of the passage of the underlying bill. This resolution fails to recognize that there are disproportionate opportunities and a lack of opportunities for members of some groups, such as minority groups who are African American and who are Hispanics. There is no consideration given to these facts. Therefore, I must be in opposition to the rule and to the bill. {time} 1250
