Mr. Speaker, our colleague from Illinois has provided further explanation of the nature of this bill. It is a clean proposal. If we do not get this into law before the end of December, there will be some problems presented. So I would hope not only that we would approve it here but that the Senate would act promptly to approve this narrow bill without attaching any other extraneous matter to it. In closing, I would also extend my thanks to both the Democrat and Republican staffs on the Financial Services Committee for working with us to see that this measure is promptly approved. I would move adoption of the bill. I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Doggett) that the House suspend the rules and pass the bill, H.R. 6398, as amended. The question was taken; and (two-thirds being in the affirmative) the rules were suspended and the bill, as amended, was passed. A motion to reconsider was laid on the table. ____________________
