I would simply say I regret that the gentleman is opposed. Earlier this year, he voted in support of an administrative PAYGO provision that takes a very similar approach here that puts in a threshold that requires that additional scrutiny be applied to any regulation, or it be offset with additional costs. I think this is compatible with that. It takes the next step to ensure that American citizens are represented by their Members of Congress. Mr. Chairman, I urge adoption of the amendment, and I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Louisiana (Mr. Graves).
