I again concur with the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Marino). This amendment strikes the applicability of judicial review of agency compliance with this legislation. That is why I am urging a ``no'' vote on this amendment. The legislation will begin a much-needed review of our Nation's regulatory structure and hopefully identify many outdated regulations. This amendment gets in the way of that. I think it would slow this process down. It gets rid of something that, again, makes it an alteration that I think has been well debated and well discussed. I urge the passage of the overall bill, but I stand in opposition to this amendment. Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Cummings). The amendment was rejected. Amendment No. 6 Offered by Mr. Cummings The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 6 printed in part B of House Report 114-388.

But if a guy has been arrested in 43 States, he should not be eligible as a confidential informant, especially one highly paid. Zero credibility. That's disgraceful.

I shouldn't have to do that. You should provide that material and not go ask some, you know, desk jockey...
