The CHAIRMAN. The gentleman is correct. Mr. DeFAZIO. Then I would withdraw. Unfortunately, that would mean that we would have to replicate the debate. It would be better if the chairman just rose in opposition as he is going to later and he voted ``no'' and I voted ``aye'' and we had a recorded vote.
