I continue to reserve the balance of my time. Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, I just want to take a second to summarize this rule because people have been asking about it. It is a closed rule. The only amendments allowed are amendments offered by people who wrote the bill. Those amendments are fixes to fixes to fixes to fixes in their bill and, in the words of Trump, sad. I would just say, you know, usually when you have a lousy process you have a lousy bill, and that is why only 17 percent of the American people support what my Republican friends are doing. I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Castro).
