I have no other speakers and am prepared to close. Mr. Chairman, as we wrap up the debate on this amendment, I hope we have demonstrated that there is common ground to be found in this Chamber. I would like to take a moment to thank, again, my colleagues, but also the Rules Committee, Mr. McGovern and his staff, for working with us in regards to this new reform of the rules process that will reward and encourage bipartisan behavior and bipartisan common ground-finding efforts. I encourage all Members on both sides of the aisle: Utilize this new rule path to bring forth ideas that benefit the American people in a bipartisan way. At the end of the day, this amendment is something we should all support for the reasons articulated by my colleagues on the other side and as articulated, hopefully, by myself today in regards to supporting this reform that goes at the issue of foreign money in our elections. Mr. Chair, I encourage our Members to support this amendment, and I yield back the balance of my time.
