My point of order now is, I have asked for a parliamentary inquiry to make it absolutely clear that I have not voted for a permanent unpaid extension of the business expensing provisions in the past, which is what this bill does and which is the root of my objection to this bill, that it runs up the deficit in the way it does. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman will suspend. The gentleman has not stated a point of order. The gentleman is engaging in debate. The gentleman from Washington controls the time. The gentleman from Washington is recognized.
