At this time, I yield to the gentleman from Georgia for the purposes of a colloquy.

I yield myself 30 seconds. I would just say that the gentleman from Texas just described current law as long as you don't bring it back. So what we're looking for is really--we are in a crossroads. I agree with him on that. We really have…

I would just yield myself 15 seconds and say that the plan the gentleman refers to is a made-up plan. What we're looking at is the model set up in the Bowles-Simpson Commission, which has been endorsed in a bipartisan way, that will be an…

At this time, I yield 3 minutes to a distinguished members of the Ways and Means Committee and chairman of the Budget Committee, the gentleman from Wisconsin (Mr. Ryan).

I yield myself 15 seconds. I would just say to my friend that I don't know whose plan that is. Somebody made that up because that's not our plan. A plan that increases middle class taxes isn't something that I could agree with. What we…

At this time, I yield 2 minutes to the distinguished gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Hurt).

Absolutely, there will be a full and robust discussion because, as I said, there will be amendments in committee, and there will be an opportunity for Members to weigh in. And, obviously, this will be a national debate. So this is about…

I have no further requests for time. Mr. McDERMOTT. I yield myself the balance of my time. Mr. Speaker, many people played a part in all of this. Nothing in Congress ever gets done by one person. Nothing ever gets done by one side or the…

I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, I urge passage of this legislation to strengthen trade and investment ties with Africa and the CAFTA-DR countries and support well-paying jobs in the United States. The legislation…

At this time, Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the distinguished gentleman from Virginia, the majority leader of the House.

I just have one remaining speaker, so I'm going to reserve. But before I do that, I just want to acknowledge Mr. Rangel's remarks and acknowledge his leadership on this issue over many years. He was at the forefront of making this AGOA…

Let me just say that this substitute increases taxes, and it increases taxes on small businesses, the very sector that we need to be growing to bring us out of this recession. It does not include tax reform. There's no path to tax reform…

At this time I yield 2 minutes to a distinguished member of the Ways and Means Committee, the gentleman from Nebraska (Mr. Smith).

How much time is remaining? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Camp) has 5\1/2\ minutes remaining. The gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Levin) has 2\3/4\ minutes remaining.

It's clear that my friends on the other side are committed to raising taxes at any cost. Does anyone believe that they're going to use that to reduce the deficit? We'll just see more wasteful Washington spending. This isn't a solution…

I object. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Objection is heard. The Clerk will read. The Clerk continued to read. Mr. DeFAZIO (during the reading). I ask unanimous consent that further reading be suspended. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there…
