Mr. Speaker, pursuant to House Resolution 744, I have a motion at the desk. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion. The Clerk read as follows: Mr. Barton moves that the House insist on its amendment to S. 2012 and request a conference with the Senate thereon. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Texas (Mr. Barton) is recognized for 1 hour.

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.
I think it's good to have this and I think it's very good that we try to work to tighten up and, as the gentlelady just said, let's determine what the real intent is and then legislate accordingly.
I think that Mr. Flores and Mr. Shimkus have done a very good job in trying to patch together a compromise bill that's good politics.
It is always good to have hearings like this to try to, through bipartisan basis, get facts on the table.
