I don't think I mentioned a figure on the extenders. I am pretty sure I did not, not today or, frankly, any other day, because it hasn't been finally completed by the Ways and Means Committee. As you know, they are working with the Senate…
I don't want to get too personal on this, but what do you think about cutting the spending for the high-speed rail between Richmond and Washington?
If the gentleman will just yield on that, are you referring to the paragraph that says: ``Presidents Clinton and Bush pushed through a series of tax changes, credits, lower rates, higher exemptions that slashed income taxes for poor and…
I thank the gentleman for yielding. Maybe the public gets tired of this back and forth. But the gentleman talks in ways that indicate that all of a sudden, in 2009, January, when President Obama took office, somehow the world fell apart…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. I rise in strong support of the rule on the COMPETES Act, and I will speak later on the bill itself. But I rise to pay tribute to Muftiah McCartin. Muftiah is a good friend of mine, so I want you to take…
