I would thank the gentleman very much for his thoughtful point of order and would ask unanimous consent to withdraw this amendment. I have a revised amendment at the desk that I think will satisfy his concern. The Acting CHAIR. Without…

I have a revised amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will report the amendment. The Clerk read as follows: Page 23, line 4, after the dollar amount insert ``(increased by $10,000,000)''. Page 32, line 4, after the dollar…

I thank the gentleman for yielding and urge my colleagues to support the Rohrabacher-Kaptur amendment, which ensures fairness for small and independent inventors. Without it, this bill will destroy American job creation and innovation…
