Mr. Chairman, I would just say to the gentleman that there is nothing in this bill that would restrict access to class actions based upon fraud claims. And in fact, this bill is designed to maximize the recovery for those fraud victims, rather than lining the pockets of attorneys. Mr. Chairman, I urge my colleagues to oppose the amendment, and I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Johnson). The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the noes appeared to have it.
