I thank the gentleman. I say to the gentleman, Mr. Nugent, the Congressional Budget Office sent us and you a letter saying it would increase direct spending by a total of $1.1 billion. That is not even a small increase. And, by the way, the fact that somebody else waived the pay-as-you-go rule doesn't give you the right to waive cut-as-you-go. This is outrageous that this would be allowed in the first 6 months of the year, and it has never been waived before in the 112th Congress. And he says it is not going to cost us very much, or nothing. Announcement By the Speaker Pro Tempore The SPEAKER pro tempore. Members are reminded that their remarks should be directed to the Chair and not to others in the second person.
