Mr. Chairman, these amendments are getting more and more strange as the evening wears on. The favorite indictment of this Bank, I think, is that it picks winners and losers, and yet here is an amendment that does exactly that. It puts these artificial caps on sectors. Mr. Chairman, this Bank is demand driven, and if the world demands shifts, why would we create barriers to U.S. firms meeting that demand? These caps just mean that the U.S. can't compete for growing market trends. {time} 2100 This is a poison pill amendment, and I urge the Members to reject this so we can reauthorize the Bank immediately.
