Mr. Speaker, I just want to point out to the gentlewoman from Maine that Republicans did a lot when they were in control, and what got stopped was because of Democrats in the Senate.

Announcement by the Speaker Pro Tempore The SPEAKER pro tempore. Members are reminded to address their remarks to the Chair.
