I thank Ranking Member Waters for yielding. I rise in support of H.R. 3700, as amended by Ranking Member Waters. This is what you call regular order, folks. This bill came out of committee with a significant flaw that would have had a very…

I have an amendment at the desk. The CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Line 6 on the first page, strike ``No'' and insert ``Except as provided in subsection (c), no''. After line 18 on…
