“my concern is that, as he knows, I had two other amendments that I withdrew because we had jurisdictional questions. Clearly, the Parliamentarian has ruled in this case that this amendment is germane to this bill, is in the jurisdiction of this committee, and is in the primary and actually sole jurisdiction of this committee or it would not be in this committee. This is only inside the Department of Homeland Security. It does not have anything to do with the Department of Defense. So my question is that, if I withdraw my amendment, are we guaranteed that, in fact, it will come back through our committee and be in the sole jurisdiction of our committee?”
