I thank the gentleman for repeating for a third time his answer to me. Mr. Speaker, I would simply observe, sadly, that the representation the House can work its will on an issue of great importance to the United States and to jobs in the…
I thank the gentleman for repeating his answer. I heard that answer, but my question to the gentleman was: Is it his intention that the Export-Import Bank expire and, therefore, not bring legislation to the floor? Mr. McCARTHY. I thank the…
Does the majority leader intend to, therefore, have the authority of the Export-Import Bank expire, notwithstanding the Speaker's observation and that it will cost thousands of jobs? I yield to my friend. Mr. McCARTHY. Again, I thank the…

Parliamentary inquiry. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Texas has the time.
I thank the gentleman. I am the whip. I wanted to make that perfectly clear. The fact of the matter is, did the gentleman just say if this amendment had been offered previously that you would have accepted it?
They are right about that, and I support the R&D being made permanent--if we pay for it. That is a principle the American public expects us to pursue. Many Democrats agree as well. However, what will be an even greater benefit to the…
