Joe Barton: “I'm told you have all kinds of time, so I will not yield, but I appreciate you wanting to ask me to.”

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.

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?

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

Mr. Chairman, my time has expired. Next time I would ask unanimous consent if I could ask the question and then answer it myself so that I could make sure I get the right answer I want.
