“I would like to address, Mr. Speaker, a couple of the gentleman from Florida's points about the process. Under our new Speaker, we have had five rules. Four have been structured, and let's look at today's rule. All of the germane amendments were made in order. In fact, to H.R. 1210, there is one amendment, and it is a Democratic amendment; to H.R. 3189, there are six amendments, and four are Democratic amendments. That is 75 percent of the amendments are Democratic amendments. That is a pretty open process. I am leaving out the fact that we also allow for a motion to recommit to each of the bills.”
