I see my colleague from Oregon has some other speakers. I know he would like to speak, I am sure. I ask unanimous consent that there now be 30 minutes, equally divided, for debate only, with no amendments or motions in order, and with the…

again, we have had some interesting dialogue back and forth. Earlier, my colleague from Connecticut was talking about how this isn't real middle-class tax relief, and then he lamented the fact that because of the arcane budget rules we…

I ask unanimous consent that there now be 30 minutes, equally divided, for debate only, with no amendments or motions in order and with the majority leader or his designee being recognized at the conclusion of that time. The PRESIDING…
