I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Add, at the end of the bill, the following: (d) Limitation.--Nothing in this Act limits or otherwise…

I am pleased now to yield 2 minutes to the distinguished gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Johnson), a ranking member of a subcommittee on the House Judiciary Committee.

It is my pleasure to yield 1 minute to the distinguished gentlelady from California (Ms. Chu).

It is with great pleasure I yield 3 minutes to the gentlelady from Texas (Ms. Jackson Lee).

I thank the gentlewoman very much because this is an important amendment. It doesn't gut the bill, and it isn't a loophole. This is a narrow amendment that only ensures that the President can comply with court decisions. The separation of…

I welcome the witnesses as well and congratulate Jerry Nadler for his long continuing interest in copyright law.

an unruly presence in the hearing room does not aid your cause in any way, my friends.

I would strenuously urge anybody else in the room that wants to display signs to only get evicted, that it is not helping your views on it.
