Let me yield myself 30 seconds for response, pending which I'm going to yield 2 minutes to the gentlelady from West Virginia. In the brief 7 months that I have spent on the Rules Committee in this Congress, there's only one time where the administration has not issued a veto threat to legislation we were considering under the Rules Committee. This is H.R. 2218, Mr. McKinley's bill. They voiced problems, but they did not issue a veto threat. That is a red letter day in this institution. Every other piece of legislation that's come to the floor has done so under a threat of a veto by the administration. I yield 2 minutes to the gentlewoman from West Virginia (Mrs. Capito).
