We have a unique situation here this morning with two Representatives from North Carolina who have totally different opinions of this bill and this amendment. Madam Speaker, I urge my colleagues to vote ``no'' on this bill. We can do better. And I urge my colleagues to vote ``no'' on the amendment; it is a day late and a dollar short. We should know what these things are in advance and not after the fact. It is what some of us might call a run-on amendment. We should have had the GAO study earlier to get a better feel for what this bill would do to working mothers and to businesses in our country. Madam Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 716, the previous question is ordered on the amendment offered by the gentlewoman from North Carolina (Ms. Ross).
