Thank you, Mr. Barton. At this time I would like to yield such time as he may consume to the other gentleman from Texas, Judge Carter.

I thank you for your support for this effort for American jobs. At this time I'd like to recognize another one of our freshman phenoms on the Energy and Commerce Committee, the gentleman from Virginia, Morgan Griffith.

Thank you, Mr. Sullivan, and I appreciate your support on this issue. At this time I'd like to recognize the gentleman from Illinois, one of the new phenoms on our Energy and Commerce Committee, Mr. Kinzinger.
