I thank the chairman, and I also thank the ranking member. What the amendment does--and I will work with the committee on this-- is exactly what the ranking member said.

ELLISON The online version should be corrected to read: There was no objection. The Acting CHAIR. The amendment is withdrawn. AMENDMENT OFFERED BY MR. ELLISON ========================= END NOTE ========================= Amendment Offered by Mr. Ellison
