Ladies and gentlemen of the House, the controlling objective here is that, if we reject the substitute and, instead, adopt the bipartisan and comprehensive Senate bill, the bill will go directly to the President for his signature.

Madam Speaker, I yield 30 seconds to the distinguished gentlelady from Wisconsin (Ms. Moore).
