Let me first admire the deftness of the gentleman from California in translating a discussion about geography to one of partisan politics. You are to be admired for your deftness. Let me acknowledge we all are aware, of course, there are no big talkers from the west coast. So if perhaps we can get some of our east coast talkers to be as respectful of time concerns of the Members as the west coast talkers are, but the fact is we do have a big legislative agenda. We do have a queuing order for each of the committees. Each of the committees must be considered, and that means we must move the work off the floor.
