Reclaiming my time, as I read this amendment, this says, none of the funds can be used to provide assistance to any State or local government, entity, or official that does certain things. I do not quite understand the end of this, what they are or are not doing. My assumption is that now this would apply to FEMA funds, emergency funds; it would apply to airports that are receiving funds under the Transportation Security Act.

I concur in the chairman's comments. You have a good amendment, and I am glad to support it.
I have read the chemical bill language, and I do not understand whether that language preempts the ability of a State to adopt more stringent requirements than the Federal standards.
I understand the majority has the right to close. The Acting CHAIRMAN. The gentleman is correct.
My question was not about local government. It was about whether DHS would be doing something under his amendment that they are not doing today.
