I missed a series of votes today. Had I been present, I would have voted YEA on Roll Call No. 492.

We are grateful to Congressman Nehls (R-TX), along with Chairmen Sam Graves (R-MO) and Garret Graves (R-LA), for their leadership on this issue.

May I inquire as to the time remaining. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Missouri has 13 minutes remaining. The gentleman from Washington has 9\1/4\ minutes remaining.
