Joe Barton: “For some reason, my time expired 2 minutes ago. I am going to have to chastise myself.”

My Texas pride doesn't need to be hurt by that, is what you are telling me.

May I inquire how much time I have remaining? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Texas has 2\1/2\ minutes remaining.

Now, I want to ask Mr. Salo, you have mentioned two principles that legislation that actually works should have. You mentioned flexibility. Does ACE Kids have flexibility?

But I also think I speak for the majority and the minority that we hope that this is something that can move reasonably expeditiously and that means actually end up in a bill the President signs in this Congress.
