I support the effort here to increase funding for a very important program that is addressing a major problem in our country. I divorce myself from the offset, not in terms of the actual offset, but in any criticism of the ATF. I think that they have some very brave, courageous Americans who are trying to make our country safer. I think in lieu of the balancing act here, I support the amendment, and I agree with it.

I would be happy to concur with the chair's every utterance on this amendment that we will work together and help facilitate what I think is a very righteous effort on behalf of Congressman Jeffries to protect the rights of all Americans…
We still have a need, as the President has laid out, to return the Nation to being the number-one nation in the world producing college-educated adults.
I claim the time in opposition to the amendment even though my opposition is not as apparent as it might otherwise be. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Pennsylvania is recognized for 5 minutes.
