Mr. Chairman, I appreciate the kind words of the gentleman from Illinois. I understand the amendment that he was trying to get in. Actually, I was trying to help try to get his amendment accepted, but it is up to the Rules Committee and the democracy there. This amendment is very simple. It is something that we have added in the appropriation bill on different agencies. We all have voted for this in the appropriation bills time after time after time, and it is to help the Minority-Serving Institutions. I ask the gentleman from Texas and Members to please accept this amendment. I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Cuellar). The amendment was agreed to. The Acting CHAIR. The Chair understands that amendment No. 8 will not be offered. Amendment No. 9 Offered by Ms. Jackson Lee The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 9 printed in part B of House Report 114-290.
