I have no additional speakers, and I reserve the balance of my time to close.

Fair enough. Reclaiming my time, since I didn't yield it, but reclaiming my time, I said, clearly, I don't think this should be part of the private sector. I think working for the Federal Government is a privilege, it is an honor, and I…

Reclaiming my time, I appreciate the spirit in which that is asked. I would hope the gentleman would join me in cosponsoring H.R. 1564, the Members of Congress Tax Accountability Act. There are constitutional reasons why we can't include…
