The motion to recommit does not solve the problem that the gentleman talked about. There is one thing that will solve the problem that the gentleman talked about, and it is about lowering corporate rates and going to a territorial system, which all other countries in the world who have been successful in stopping this problem have done. America has not led. America has fallen behind. The gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Camp) has led. He has a draft that seeks to solve this problem. There hasn't been any leadership from the House Democrats. There hasn't been any leadership on the issue from Senate Democrats, and there certainly hasn't been any leadership from the White House. Everything in this bill before us today, Mr. Speaker, is bipartisan, meaning Democrats and Republicans have supported it. Everything in this bill, Mr. Speaker, will help Americans create American jobs. There is no reason not to support this bill, except what is happening in November. Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to vote ``no'' on the motion to recommit and vote ``yes'' on this American job-creating bill. I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Without objection, the previous question is ordered on the motion to recommit. There was no objection. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion to recommit. The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that the noes appeared to have it.
