I feel compelled to correct the record here. The opponents make a false claim that somehow this bill eliminates benefits for millions of low-income families, and that is just wrong because the provision he is talking about is, frankly, the failure of the Obama administration to make that provision permanent. The provision he refers to does not expire until 2017. So what they are saying is, in a word, ``nonsense.'' At this time, I yield such time as she may consume to the gentlewoman from Kansas (Ms. Jenkins), a distinguished member of the Ways and Means Committee. Mr. Speaker, I also ask unanimous consent that Ms. Jenkins control the remainder of the time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the gentleman from Michigan? There was no objection.
