Mr. Chair, I just want to note that the overwhelming ``fantasy'' that the gentleman refers to was shared on a bipartisan basis, overwhelmingly, in rejecting this amendment a couple of years ago. This is not a brand new idea. And we appreciate the gentleman's bringing it before us, but in the military, they talk about things that you don't know. You do not know what you do not know. I believe that this is a small price to pay to make sure that we have this ability, should a crisis occur, in that we might save thousands-- if not millions--of lives. I urge a ``no'' vote on this amendment. Mr. Chair, I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Oregon (Mr. DeFazio). The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the noes appeared to have it. Mr. DeFAZIO. Mr. Chair, I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Oregon will be postponed. {time} 2030 Amendment No. 12 Offered by Mr. Grayson The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 12 printed in House Report 114-639.
