I thank the ranking member and the chairman for their lack of opposition in support of this amendment. In closing, Mr. Chairman, I would just say, as we care about American citizens across the country, we must stand with them, and we must support their fundamental freedoms that are represented in our Constitution, and that is what this amendment will do. It is a simple, concise amendment that will just recognize that the government, once and for all, must recognize that it is impacting private property rights in America with its actions and quantify that impact when it comes to the use and value of their private property. Mr. Chair, I ask my colleagues to support this amendment and the underlying bill, and I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from New York (Mr. Reed). The amendment was agreed to. Amendment No. 2 Offered by Mr. Cummings The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 2 printed in part C of House Report 114-14.
