Reclaiming my time, we'll have an opportunity in the sense of the previous question. We'll see how the majority shakes out on that issue. I'm sure my friends will regard that as effectively a vote on their proposal. With that, I reserve the balance of my time, Mr. Speaker. Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, can I inquire of the gentleman whether he has any additional requests for speakers?

This is a little bit unusual. I have comments on my friend Wes Watkins, as well. I want to talk a little bit off the cuff about the man that my good friend and colleague Frank Lucas was talking about a few minutes ago. Wes Watkins liked to…
Our conference refuses to let the obstruction and inaction of Senate Democrats trigger another manufactured shutdown at the end of September. That is why we are acting before a funding lapse crisis, not in response to it.
We’re close on the numbers. We’re pretty far apart still on trying to limit presidential powers.
The only reason we’re doing it now is, first, the Senate Democrats, I think, have misused the filibuster, and honestly, the Republicans have let them misuse the filibuster.
