We are getting there, but not fast enough and there is more to be done.

May I inquire as to the amount of time remaining and if my friend has any other speakers. We do not, on our side. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Oregon has 12\1/2\ minutes remaining. The gentleman from New Jersey has 6 minutes…

Thank you for what you do.

I believe the gentleman has other speakers, so I reserve the balance of my time.
