Mr. Chairman, I yield myself 30 seconds to respond to what the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Gene Green) just said. The whole concept of this bill is to let willing buyers interact with willing sellers in a free market, transparent fashion. If you subject the bill to some sort of a discretionary permitting requirement, as one of Mr. Gene Green's amendments would have done, you gut the bill. You destroy the entire purpose of the bill. So as much as I respect my good friend from Houston, Texas, I respectfully have to object to that amendment. I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from New Jersey (Mr. Lance), a member of the committee.
